Likely causes

  1. 1

    Low hydraulic fluid level— Most likely

    Check the hydraulic sight glass or dipstick immediately. Low fluid is the most common cause and also points to a leak that needs fixing.

  2. 2

    Worn or failing hydraulic pump— Possible

    Pumps wear over time, especially if the fluid has been neglected. Low pressure that worsens under load is a strong sign of pump wear.

  3. 3

    Stuck or worn hydraulic pressure relief valve— Possible

    The relief valve can stick open, bleeding off pressure. This is a workshop repair — the valve is usually accessible without major disassembly.

  4. 4

    Internal hydraulic leak (cylinder, valve body)— Less common

    Cylinders and valve bodies can develop internal leaks. Usually identified by one implement losing power while others work fine.
