Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, I have recently purchased a little old ford 7610 with a farmhand f12 mk2 hydraukic loader, but although it seems to work fine, when I tried to lift a 1000l of water in a water bowser it didnt manage it. I thought it should lift at least a tonne, its plugged into the rear spool block, is it the tractor hydraukic pump, just getting too old or is the loader not specced to lift that weight? As I cant seem to find any info on the loader.

Now Then..
I would have thought your loader would be good for around a tonne. It depends how far forward from the loader the centre of your load was of course..
I'd try a pressure gauge in the rear spool connector to see what pressure you have. 2750 Psi at a guess..

If you don't have 2750 psi try a new relief valve in the main hydraulic pump....
......red arrow. There's also a gauze under the blue plug (won't affect pressure, only oil flow)

Tractor and loader probably on their limit.
The lift rams on the F12 are not big.
another we shouldn't have sold.

As said, you need to stick a gauge on it to see what's going on.
Has it got the aux pump on the side of the engine ? could be pump on it's way out, could be priority valve.......

I think part of my problem is that it's a square water bowser so the weight is not close to the pivot point, but as I will need to do this over the summer to refill the bowsers I will check out the tractor hydraulics first, if that's OK then its either new loader or new loader tractor. ?

Lh rear of engine, driven off flywheel. Filter and pipes to rear. Will be a 4x2 blanking plate otherwise.

No - won't increase pressure, only oil flow.
It was what I call 'add on engineering'. It was what was the main hydraulic pump off a 2/3000 stuck on there to give an ageing tractor range more oil flow.
Cannot be added no gear on camshaft unless it has aux pump and most had them, as stated put gauge in spool and check pressure wants to be at least 2500psi can be adjusted if aux pump is there that's what it's for, lift arms only use main pump, can send details how to but you must have gauge or pump will split.

If you look at the shinny end of loader lift rams you will see there is a choice for the ram mounting pins.
Look at "Nearly's" picture he has the rams in the lower position for lifting more weight but less height.
Your rams are in the upper position for more height but less weight.

Red I spy with my little eye something beginning with R and D@TripleSix @JLTate just saying??Tractor and loader probably on their limit.
