I have a 4310 with a 430 fel and the other day I was brush mowing a field for my uncle. I loaded up the tractor and brought it home and went to put it in the garage and the FEL wouldn't raise past halfway. it goes up too a point and then stops. checked the obvios ; hoses, lines, float pos,and it won't pick the front tires up. the 3-point works fine and the bucket curls.

BINGO! we have a winner. One of the coupler's in front of my right foot was not fully connected. It was only out about a 1/8 of an inch. What a load off my mind. I have 62 hours on it and I thought I messed it up. Ijust purchased all my fluids and filters for my 50 hour service. ....
