Hello everyone this is my second time on here asking for help with my equipment still learning only been logging on my own for a few years but I have a 80s model 150 prentice loader and everything works but it moves very slowly I have changed the motor it is a 353 Detroit I have also changed the control valves in the cab and still no better and I don't know what direction to go now.          I also have a 240A timberjack and I can't keep the brakes working had brakes and in half a day something inside the brake system is leaking and no brakes again any ideas or help would be appreciated I am a logger in southeast Ohio and brakes are nice to have

Hi Brian,

On your loader have you gone through the obvious such as filter, making sure no hidden valves are part way closed, and checking the hydraulic pump pressure? Is there a decent hydraulic shop in the area that could bench test the pump for pressure and volume for you?

Welcome!  I don't know enough about hydraulics to help you though.  Good luck!
