    Loader shaking hard when raised JD 3203

    Have a 07 model 3203 hydro trans , when I raise the bucket it grabs and fights to go up shaking the tractor. It just started doing it today after I hauled it 70 miles to drag a road. Any thoughts would be appreciated

    Could have air in the system? If any of the hoses have been changed recently or loader was detached from tractor for other tasks.

    Thanks for the replies , fluid level is ok and have not taken loader off . It was serviced last month
    I did grade a very dusty road if that could effect anything

    I have a 4720 and it did the same thing at about 50 hrs and it was the relief valve. It was replaced under waranty so no idea on cost. Since I have also replaced the three point hitch control valve at a cost of $565 plus labor at 500 hrs. What has happened to John Deere quality?

    Ive seen loader brackets bolted on where they werent even and the loader would bind as it moves. I know the valves on these are pretty complicated and could very well cause this problem.

    My dad has a 5500, I think the 5525 was one of the last built in Illinois.

    i also find the newer JD's not what they used to be. Massey on the other hand seems to build solid tractors even today
