So last winter i used the quick hitch and snowblower without any issues.

We got BIG dump of snow Saturday, so yesterday I attempted to snow blow, about 30mins in I noticed that i couldn't raise snow blower, i could lower it, put on float, move chute side to side, so it seems everything else is fine except when i go to lift. I can hear the pump trying to lift and can see the hose flex a bit so I am not sure what the problem could be.

I drove it into garage over night and tried again this morning, same thing, the odd time I was able to raise it by lowering my rpms to 1500 or so, i could get it to engage and lift then bring rpms back up and would work for a bit and then do the same thing over and over.

I checked the hydraulic connections, is there something else I can check? I used the FEL/bucket lots this summer without any issues.

TIA

If you're sure the quick connects are seated and it's still not working correctly, maybe some moisture got in the connection and froze. Might try warming the connection when they are disconnected and then try again.

Like D2Cat said you have an issue with one line not seating and connecting, disconnect and reconnect the quick disconnects on the lift. ;)
