After careful consideration and test drive (green and orange) I decided on the Kubota L3240. The deciding factors were ground clearance, a host of premium features that come with the Grand series and I must admit the new 2010/11 styling. Been busy tilling the orchard, vineyard and berry patch, it all sits on about 200'x150' plot behind the barn. I'll post pics when I get the FEL installed...
The dealer delivered and we went over all the attachments and I have successfully "mastered" them, except the FEL. I assumed on and off would be the challenge, binding pins etc, no that's the easy part. (or is it), now it sits on it's parking stand, flat bucket, pins removed and hoses dangling. I tried to hook it up and I can only attach the Blue/Red (outboard) connecters, the Yellow/While inboard won't snap closed. I'm pulling back the ring, no dirt etc. I was able to do the other 2, so my technique is correct. So here is my question?
Is there a particular order they must be attached (or removed)?
Do I let off pressure at joy stick, leave in Float mode?
(I tried all the combination I could think of)
Did moving the joystick with power applied "dead head" the pump and it needs bleeding, pressure relieving?
All I can do is move the bucket (Red/Blue) and not raise the FEL, White/Yellow. I am able to couple with the tractor, and I thought that might remove some pressure in the cylinders, no luck.
Ok how about it, what's the trick, I promise to not tell anyone.
