FEL Wont Dump.

[CWKUB]

my hydro fluid is full. i have tried bleading the line to make sure there is no air in it. But i took and had my younger brother pull the lever to dump it, why i was pulling down on the bucket. it was tuff but finally it gave and broke past a point that it started workin on its own. but when it gets half way back up it will not dump unless i pull on it. I also dis-connected both cylinders from the bucket, to see if they both would extend. ( while in the seat ) the cylinder on the right would only extend 8 or 9 inches. the one on the left wouldnt even budge.

What tractor and loader do u have.

I am going to give credit to another member who pointed this out. Disconnect your quick connects clean them etc and reconnect them. I believe there is a build up dirt which is restriciting the oil flow.

Yes, that is a very common problem...90% of all "won't dump" or "won't raise" problems are caused by QD's that are slightly unseated.

Or frozen. Tractors do weird things when it's cold out

Hasn't happened to me personally, but I've read on here where they can get bent and it results in the same thing.

Had my Kubota not want to curl or dump once. A quick check found that the 3PH control (quarter inching type) was in the lift position and the hitch was all the way up, but the control lever didn't automatically return to center. Centered the lever and everything was back to normal. The linkage just needed a bit of adjustment.

i once had a stick hit my qc and partially disconnect it i chased the problem for a whole afternoon.

One of the cyl may have nut off the end of the piston/shaft. Does the relief activate when one of the cyl is fully extended?

Another hydraulic question. Just took delivery of a BX2360 and spent 2 hours this morning clearing snow from my driveway. My question is: does it damage the hydraulic system/cylinders if when I dump the bucket, I leave the hydraulic gear engaged for a couple of seconds after the cylinder reaches it's limit? Hope that makes sense.
