16LA loader operation question

[SuperCobra]

That "speed increaser for when you dump" is also on my LX114 on the Case. It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference, about .1 or .2 second with a full load. I kind of wondered why they bothered with it except to make something sound good in the literature. The dump speed seems fast enough without it.

Who really needs a superfast dump feature anyways? Seriously, what is the advantage, even if it's a half second faster? Will that little bit of time really let anyone get more work done in a day? If the normal dump time was 6 or 7 seconds, there might be some reason for a fast dump, but mine is pretty quick without the feature.

I find that feature very useful. The increased speed gives just enough extra momentum to flick out sticky clay or manure. Kind of like the difference between trying to flick a booger off you pinky or flicking it off your index finger. That extra little bit really helps.

hi all, my thinking is the 'speed increaser' sounds like a 'double acting' cylinder that uses hydraulic pressure (from the pump) along with the simple relief value to drain/retract the fluid/cylinder into the reservoir.. (?)

the thingy to increase (if that's "marketed" as something {super extend?}) would be a 'Regenerative' circuit that links the draining fluid back into the extending port (?)
