Hydraulic Issue

[Kubotadad]

3-point hitch is down

Both spools seem the same when activated...goes in and returns, however, the loader spool does not feel like there is any pressure behind it when activated. Feels loosey goosey!

Should I change the hydraulic fluid and pull the strainer? Could it be that simple?

Do I need to drain the fluid before disconnecting hoses?

Sorry to be picky but both pull out the same?

Activated Position (it does somewhat appear that the loader spool is not going in as far as the bucket spool)

Well its moving which was my main concern. There should be two positions when you move the lever to lower. Can you push it into the second posution? It takes a little force to get past the detent.

Either your pictures are wrong or something is a foul with your linkage, as 2 pictures are the same spool position.
And if your only moving one spool the other is moving too.
