Hey all,
Forgive the new owner question here. I was loading my backhoe onto my L35 and hit a hydraulic connector. It blew hydraulic fluid all over back of the tractor. Anyway I fixed it all and added enough UDT fluid to the back of the tractor to get the levels back.

The backhoe works fine but has now lost a lot of power. The stabilizers wont actually lift the tractor for example, and the backhoe gets stalled on barely any gravel, unable to pull forward. I am not sure what else to check unless I made some really dumb mistake I am missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Crushed pipe or a bad/wrong connector restricting flow. ;)

Be certain you have the two hoses (four ends) all hooked up correctly and not backwards one to the other.

Double-check the push-pull valve to make certain you have it in the correct position for 'backhoe': check Owner's Manual for correct position.

May not have one of the two hoses fully hooked together---it or they may be 'captured' but not fully 'open'.

Depending how or what you bumped, might have crushed a hose; shouldn't be any hardlines at the rear of that machine. Remote possibility might have damaged one or both ends of the quick-connect to the backhoe.

Please post back and advise your continuing experiences so we may all learn.

It was the 3ph lever as you guys mentioned. I pushed it in and restarted and it was fine. Thanks so much for the help! Won't make that mistake again...
