Why is my Allied 495 Lawn and Garden Equipment loader slow and/or not dumping?

If your Allied Lawn and Garden Equipment loader is slow or won't dump, several issues could be the cause. Start by checking for leaking quick couplers and ensure compatibility, replacing them if necessary. If the hydraulic oil is too heavy, change it or replace the filter. A plugged oil filter should be cleaned or replaced. Other potential causes include a worn hydraulic pump (repair or replace), restricted or leaking oil lines (check hoses and tubes), a faulty or improperly shifting control valve (inspect, clean, repair or replace), air in the hydraulic system (cycle cylinders), or internal cylinder leaks (replace seals).
