Not trying to offend, but you should really get some training on how to properly operate a tractor before you cause further damage to the tractor, hurt yourself, or God forbid, someone else. Like any other large vehicle, tractors have differentials in their drive axles. Differentials allow the wheels to turn at different speeds when the tractor is going around the corner. Otherwise you could not turn the tractor. The downside to this is that in a digging situation, the wheel with the least amount of traction is the one that will spin out first. Both wheels will never have the exact same amount of traction. This is why tractors have two brake pedals. There's one for each wheel. When one wheel spins, you can tap the brake pedal on that side to make the other wheel spin. A skilled tractor operator can use the brakes to keep both wheels driving so the tractor doesn't spin out. I guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the tractor. If something were broken in the drive to the right wheel, the tractor would not move at all. The brake pedals should generally be locked together for driving down the road. As far as the loader is concerned, it's highly unlikely that both cylinders would break simultaneously. The most likely culprit for your problem would be a blown hydraulic hose. If that were the case, though, you'd see hydraulic oil spurting out all over the place! There would be a large puddle on the ground where you were working, and the hydraulics would eventually stop working completely. I suspect that you probably broke the hydraulic valve on the tractor. Probably from overloading the tractor, trying to lift too much, dig too deep, or something of that nature. Remember that this is a tractor, not a bulldozer, backhoe, or a payloader.
