Hi All,
I was reading in another thread that the safety relief on the FEL control will allow fluid to be released when the bucket or arms are at their full reach or when lifiting too much. Since I often hit the full reach of bucket or arm (for a second or 2), is that to say that some fluid is frequently being released by the safety valve?
After using my FEL for a few hours last time, the input and output connectors on the back of the FEL control were a little wet and there were a few drops on the floor mat just below. Is this a normal result of the safety relief? I was initially thinking they might be loose.
I was lifiting some pretty heavy log pieces with the FEL and did hear a little whining. Is this OK or am I causing damage? The control also got quite sticky in the left and bottom positions after a couple hours of hard use. Sticky to the point where at times it did not return to center. The stickyness hung around even several hours after the tractor had cooled down, but was gone the next day. What could be the cause of this?
Tractor is MF GC2310.
Thanks.
