Quicke Q45 loader problem

Question from a simple stockman.
Quicke loader not lifting or crowding back when there’s weight in the bucket, fine when empty. Plenty of oil in the tractor. Just filters need changing perhaps? Many thanks

What type of coupling arrangement is there on the loader control valve? If it's a singular type with a 1/2" bsp male connected to a 1/2"bsp female quick (x4) release coupling then lower the loader to ground ,shut off tractor and move joystick in all 4 directions and then disconnect all 4 couplings and have a good look at the nipple in each type, if the head of the nipple is battered looking then replace both male and female ends .They will be in line as in 1,2,3,4. This should solve it. The 1/2"bsp male and 1/2"bsp female couplings can be got at any agri dealer, hyd stockist.
Make sure that you buy all the male/ female couplings from the same brand.

I don’t see how this will help. Why would the connections fail?

Sounds like a lack pressure or cylinder problem to me. I would check the pressure relief valve setting first. If that's correct then get the bus rams revealed.

I am having the same problems with my loader. Once weight is put in the bucket it won’t lift. Does changing the valves help?
Could be a tractor problem rather than loader problem.
Pump could be down on pressure or a relief valve stuck or a compensation valve stuck/failed which is common on new hollands
Put up what tractor its on and you might get a bit more help if its a common problem and make specific
