DX45 FEL bucket no pressure

[sparker133]

I have a new dx45. When I dump the bucket and then try to back blade with it does not stay. I is floppy for lack of a better term. I have to dump the bucket further to tighten it up. Does anybody have this problem. Is this normal for this machine or do I need to get it fixed.

This is normal. When you dump the bucket it can move faster than oil can get in the back of the cylinder due to the weight of the bucket and load. Your tractor has a regen function for the bucket dump. Move your FEL control further to the right when dumping to activate the regen circuit which will help. Initially, you may need to cycle the dump/curl a few times to purge all the air from the cylinders. Then if you use the regen when dumping the cylinders should stay full of oil.

Just a thought but you might have it is "float mode"?!

Also yes it will flop around a little and you might have to use the joystick to apply a little more pressure as you go.
