I switched the backwards hoses around on my loader, but that didn't solve my problem. The lift cylinders are agonizingly slow going up; it would probably take a minute or so for full extension. The tilt cylinders cannot tilt the bucket back up. It goes down great. If I try to actuate both levers at once, it just stops. The reservoir is about 2/3 full warm, and the belt is not slipping. I could put a smaller pulley on the pump, but it seems to be slow regardless of engine speed. I remember it being slow when it was on the 124, but not this slow. I put a very large spin-on filter on the inlet side of the pump, and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. The lift cylinder hoses for the 'down' part of the cylinder have a swivel with a restriction in them...the hole is probably 1/8" or smaller.
Does anyone have any suggestions for things I could check? After almost 2 months of work and hundreds of dollars, the only thing this thing does is look nice. I'm VERY disappointed and about ready to drive it off a cliff.

Your front blade is very light in comparison to this loader; the loader probably weighs 350-400 lbs. It steers kind of hard, but I see that I have a low tire. I could care less about that at the moment, I just wish it worked.
