I've been through the steering problem you are having! Check the flow diverter valve first. It is behind the gas tank. The regulator, flow diverter is built into one unit. The flow diverter is on the bottom and the valve can be pulled out and checked by removing left hood. Then remove the snap ring towards the bottom of the valve above where your steering hose leaves the valve. There is a spring in there pushing out so be carefull. That valve gets worn on both sides. You can't buy the valve or the regulator assembley anymore. So what I did was have a very good machinist make a new valve with the same diameter as what the center of my valve was. .8750 inch. This made my steering work no matter what RPM or the loader was doing. There is also a screen inside the regulator that could be plugged causing problems. under that screen is a tiny bleader hole that could be plugged also. Your gas tank has to come off to remove and clean the regulator. This is the cheap and easy fix if you can machine a valve.
