Hello,
I have a Mahindra 2810 tractor and I think there is a problem with the control valve / joystick for the loader. I don't know much about hydraulics, and I bought the tractor used so I am not sure if the control valve is the factory valve or if it has been replaced somewhere along the line.
I used the loader for several hours this weekend and then at the end of the day all of a sudden the bucket would not curl. It will still go up, down, and dump but just will not curl.
I reconnected all of the quick connectors to make sure they have a tight fit. They all seem to be in good working condition. I also swapped the dump and curl lines, and doing so I could curl the bucket but not dump it, so that tells me the lines themselves are in good shape.
The problem is when I try to pull the joystick left to curl the bucket, it doesn't really want to go left and nothing happens. I took the rubber boot off the joystick and from what I see the front left cylinder is supposed to go down in order for the bucket to curl. I tried pushing it down by hand and pulling hard to the left on the joystick, but IT will not go down. What could be the possible reason(s) why this cylinder will not go down?
I appreciate your help.
