I understand that. It takes a lot more force to lift the bale and you arent getting it. That is a classic symptom of a leaking cylinder.. You need to TEST both cylinders.

I will check it out. If that passes what is the next step?

How are you going to check it out?
Dan
Excellenyt Test both cylinders.
Meanwhile I will do some research. Exactly what model M4900 and loader?
Dan
One cylinder passed the test the other did not. I took it apart and the seal is still there and looks good. I don’t know why it would be bypassing.
Leave the bale on the loader. Disconnect the quick coupler on the loader valve that goes to the rod end of the cylinders. Remove the female coupler ftom the hose and put the end of the hose in a bucket. Start the tractor and try to lift the bale.
Does the loader go up?
Did you get oil out of the disconnected hose? If yes how much.

Recoonect all of that.
Disconnect the hose cinnected to the base end of the right cylinder. Put the hose in a bucket and try to raise the loader.
Did you get oil from the hose. If so how much.
Dan
You are cobfusing me. There should be no oil until you pull the lever. When I ou pull the lever you should getva stream until you release the lever. Is that what you are seeing?
