Greetings all......Those who have this set up, I have a question. I recently bought an L4400 and as I embark in my adventures with this machine I noticed something today. I am aware of the lack of curl on the bucket, but is the bucket supposed curl underneath itself? I thought the loader on My B3200 did or least curled UNDER further than the L4400.
Anyhow, here is my concern. The bucket stops vertical (edge perpendicular to the ground) In this position, I absolutely have ZERO curl power and that is under no load what so ever. I wanted to see if the loader would be able to mover the machine backwards in the event I ever stuck. Now, if I curl the bucket forward a bit I gain some curl power back but it seems way weak for this size of a loader. Is this making any sense to any of the LA703A owners out there? With the bucket pointing straight down does the hydraulics go into relief mode or something?
