Check your loader quick disconnects. Sometimes they don't connect properly. They might seem to be okay but remove them and snap them back together. If all you did was remove the loaded, I don/t know what else it could be.

What Rentthis said. It sounds like you disconnected the loader and went on your way. You need to reconnect the lines or there is no continuous flow.

Yes i took the loader off.. and then everything went to hell... not sure if i have to loop a hose back out of the 3 that i took off... ( first time removing loader ). going to check UDT fluid tonight ... trying hooking loader back up to see how it acts... not sure what happened... maybe the Disconnects didn't seal when i removed the 3 loader hoses ?

Mike, whenever something quits working right after you make some changes to the equipment....it has something to do with what you just did!!!

And, often it's a simple fix. Go to mowing!!!!

You removed the FEL valve didn't you!

You will need to connect the out line from the pump (pressure) and the PB line (power beyond) that goes to the three point control, and cap (or cover if quick disconnect the return (tank) line.

Usually they are set up to do just that on the disconnects.

Could you post a pic of how your hydraulic line are hooked up where the loader was plugged in. I recently bought a L235 that had a loader and I was told it got weak so the sold the loader and replaced the pump but now it's doing exactly the same. I got no movement at all on the 3 point
