16LA loader control

[DVerbarg]

"Blending" required some practice but now I use it all the time without really thinking about it.

The times you got were slow but you still were not running at full RPM speed. I know when I first got my TC40D I ran the RPMs much lower but found that if you want to seriously use the FEL you have to run the full RPM speed. Try timing your FEL running at 2700 and let us know how much of a difference it makes.

I have tried both speed and power at various RPM. Power is the same at 1500 and 2200 RPM. Lifting speed is only a little faster, and certainly not worth the extra fuel to me.

I was disappointed at first with the sluggishness and lack of power in my 16LA loader, but have made a shaky peace with it. I've learned to live with the lower productivity, and actually appreciate the smooth operation.
