Float Adjustment ?

[tandttravis]

Is there ant way to adjust the float position of the loader? I set it in the float position with the plow on, as soon as I drive foward, it takes the weight off the front wheels and I can't steer. It has always had a lot of down pressure in float, but it's really a pain while trying to plow. I have a B-26 with 200 hours, any suggestions?

Are you sure your hose are hooked up correctly?double check that the float is truly on the down side of things.

This is your loader mounted plow correct?

This is the very reason I got rid of mine. I could never get it to float properly and was always having trouble steering. Search some threads about FEL plows-some love'm and some hate'm!

There shouldn't be any down pressure in float. That is why it is called 'float'. Try angling the FEL bucket up when you push forward. I suspect you are angling the bucket edge down pushing the front wheels up. That'll do what you are describing.

I've found that if I had the bucket on the ground and lifted FEL control lever to get to float detent I was adding down pressure. Try levelling your bucket in the air and quickly snapping to float position. Bucket should float down without down pressure. Hope that works out for you.
