Why Won’t the Lift Arms Raise on My AGT LRT23?
Exact model: AGT LRT23
Safety: Shut down the engine and mechanically support raised equipment before inspection. Hydraulic oil can penetrate skin.
A.
Start with the accessible checks
What this suggests: AGT LRT23 lift arms failing to rise can involve low hydraulic fluid, a mispositioned safety lock, a disconnected control linkage, leaking hoses or a hydraulic pump/cylinder problem.
What to do
- Set the machine on level ground and securely SUPPORT all raised parts with mechanically rated stands before approaching; hydraulics alone are not support.
- Verify the correct lift safety latch and the fluid level/type per the actual LRT23 configuration.
- Look for wet hose joints or obvious mechanical link damage with engine off; repair verified external leaking hoses using suitable rated hose/fittings.
Still not fixed? Continue to the next check.

If the problem remains after the first checks
What to do
- If the pump develops no lift despite normal engine output, a trained hydraulic technician should isolate pressure/flow at rated test ports according to the exact valve/pump installation.
- No universally verified LRT23 service-port pressures were found.
Confirm the repair
Arms lift evenly, hold position as designed and respond correctly to controls without leaks or unintended descent; never use hands to find a high-pressure pinhole leak.
