When the Loader Won't Load

I was trying to get the old loader running last week, and wouldn’t you know it — after three hours of tinkering, the problem was just a pin stuck in the hydraulic system. At least it gave me a chuckle to watch the guys in the barn trying to figure out where all that grain ended up. Got a similar story? Let’s hear your loader fails.

Funny how a little pin can cause so much chaos — like trying to herd cats! I once spent a whole day fixing a loader only to find I’d knocked the battery cable loose. You ever find the simplest fixes make the biggest mess?
