My 10LA loader on my New Holland TZ25 sub compact has lost some strength. I was using it to remove some small stumps today and it's been working well all weekend, yet I noticed that it wouldn't go to full height, maybe four feet off the ground when fully elevated it's around seven feet. It does go up and down and the bucket tilts, but it won't lift heavy objects and when it used to lift the front of the tractor off the ground when I pushed it down, now it only stops and barely moves the tractor. I'm thinking I've got a damaged hydraulic pump, any other ideas?

I'm a new member and have a brand new TZ25DA with only three hours on it. I wanted to take a moment to warn all of you TZ owners to watch out for the hydrostatic oil filter, it can be damaged easily. I was cutting tall grass in an area of a corral not previously cut by this tractor, using the 918L Flail cutter, clipping along pretty good, when I felt a strong bump. I continued on another 50 feet or so and noticed I had no hydraulic pressure. Stopped the TZ and looked underneath, only to see hydraulic/transmission fluid coming out from around the filter. Evidently, a large rock, shaped and positioned perfectly to hit the filter, smacked the filter and bent it enough to break the seal.<br>
<br>
I immediately called the dealer and they said they had the filter in stock, but when I got there, an hour drive, I found that the newer models use a different size, which they don't have. Now I'm down for two days, waiting for a filter to come in.<br>
<br>
Be warned, the filter on the TZ models is the lowest point on the ground clearance and REALLY needs to have a guard of sort installed in front of it, IMHO.<br>
<br>
So, $40.00 for more fluid and $8.00 for a new filter, is an expensive lesson in checking an area that hasn't been done before, by walking it first.<br>
