I have a Bobcat 743 and I moved a cement slad today and then went to the other side of the slab and had very minimal lift arm and bucket curl movement. I have no fluid leaks, hydraulic fluid is fine and machine was at full power. The bucket took aprox. 30 seconds to lower about 4 inches. It currently will not move the bucket or arms. Have been using for months without issue until today. Filters and fluid were gone through last fall. Is this a pump issue or where should I start. I haven't tried anything yet.

Does it have aux. hydraulics and did they get accidentally get turned on.
As OM stated. Grab the right lever, pull it to the left and let it spring back to centre. It sounds like it has been stuck in detent mode (provides continuous oil from from the quick couplers).
