Want to thank the guys here and think it was the Green Tractor Fourm, for sharing your knowledge and experience. I added an adjustable orifice valve with free flow in the opposite direction. Played a bit with it this afernoon. Seems to work great, a fast dump, but ok with that. Been trying to bleed the dump cyinders for years, thinking it was trapped air. Put up a few pictures. Thanks again!

Glad you found a work-around for a non-regen valve.

The floppy bucket isnt trapped air....rather air induced every time you dump a heavy load....and gravity extends the cylinders faster than your 6 or 8 gpm pump can replenish the cylinder.

I believe the majority of my FBS education was from your posts. I can thank you directly, for the information.
My loader valve is relatively new, so the reason I went this way. Had I learned at the time, the 821 would have a regen type loader valve.
Thanks Again.
