: : : I have been using my three point scoop bucket on my Oliver Super 55 diesel quite a bit lately to move dirt, gravel, and sand around while I am building. I noticed that the 3 point doesn't seem to be able to lift a full load to the maximum height and sometimes barely clears the ground. It helpls a little if I rev the engine up, but it still won't top out. The scoop bucket is not that large it only carries a little more than a good contractor's wheel barrow. What do you thing it needs? I have check the fluid and it is to the full mark. Any suggestions? An empty bucket will travel to the top. One with material in it will stay up it I fill it in the top position. Also, If i help lift it manually it will go up too.
: : Your hydraulic pressure is too low for some reason, either your main releif valve needs set up or your hydraulic pump is weak and needs replaced. Good luck

: Paul, does your system have a filter that could be restricting the flow? I am not familiar with the Oliver, but some hyd systems allow a person to increase the pressure with a simple adjustment. Good Luck Cadillac Gary

The first, cheapest and most likely thing to check is the hyd oil itself. I suggest you drain the oil and replace with new oil if you not done this already since you got you tractor. Even a little water in the oil will cause your problem. I suspect many hyd pumps have been replaced due to bad hyd oil. I have "repaired" many tractors like yours with an oil change.
