OK finally got hydro sorted out & installed new (used) pump.. (I was having problems with intermittent 3pt hitch not working.) I am using a 30 inch 3pt scoop on a Ford 1510. 3pt has lots of power, goes up & down etc. However when it hits as high as it can go it bogs the engine down a few hundred rpms. (it IS the right pump) it did it from the first time I raised it after installing the new pump. . I put it up and down a few times to see if it would work out didn't seem to so I moved the upper limit stop on the control lever to stop it just before the bogging starts.
Used it quite a bit yesterday and several hrs again 2day. Noticed that when at the high limit I set there is a slight "chatter" vibration especially when loaded (the scoop) and just a little when empty so I move the lever down just a tad & it goes away..
Problem being, I am not getting all the lift now and the scoop doesn't quite tip straight down & sticky dirt doesn't all come out.. Any ideas/thoughts?? I could move the links in a hole & gain some hight but I am wondering why the bogging etc & if there is an adjustment or something..
