My FEL is having issues. 300 hour service performed this summer. This past fall a couple times (not always) some functions of the FEL would seem to be sluggish intermittently but seemed to come out of it. I snowplow with it (rear implement ) but don't use the FEL too much in the snow. It sat for a couple weeks and I had to unbury a boat and all worked fine but then suddenly the bucket would not rotate up or down, and when lowering FEL it was extremely slow and would not have power to lift tractor off front tires. I disconnected all 4 FEL couplings below joystick and cleaned thoroughly then reconnected. Bucket seems to be fine now (but did not put it thru a workout). Still same issue with lowering the FEL - no improvement. Any thoughts on what to do next? Hydraulic fluid is fine and full.
Another note - joystick. Left, right, down seem fine but when pushing forward to lower FEL it does nothing until I push it forward past a point where it "clicks" (for lack of a better description). I never noticed this "click" before but it might have always done it - after the "click" it allows the joystick to move forward about another 1/4-1/2" (but again FEL goes down very slow with no strength). The joystick clearly movers further than the other 3 positions. Thoughts?
Thanks
