Re: 4 in 1 regen. \"solution #4?\"
Dan,
Thanks for the feedback...you're doing quite well with you "homework"
With only 1 exception, I think your results confirm what MarkC has been trying to teach us, and what the owner's manual and my own test at the dealer suggest. And they indicate that your 4in1 bucket-controls work in the "preferred" manner.
About the 1 exception:
You write -[[ "With the bucket fully UP to move fully down took 9 seconds with the FEL hydraulic lever in the second position. I think that is regen. Non regen, the top position to do the same movement took 7 seconds. At 2500 RPMs the tests took 6 and 7 seconds. Which is kinda strange ]]
I'm assuming that all your tests were done using the left/right motions of the joystick only.
In other words that when you say the bucket is moving up/down, you are talking about rollback/dump operations...NOT about about lowering the bucket to/raising it up from-the ground.
Assuming this is correct, then all we need, in order for everything to "work-out", is for the regen/non-regen positions to be the opposite of what you thought. I think that is the case.
If, when you talk about the FEL hydraulic lever being in the 2nd position, you are really talking about the SELECTIVE CONTROL VALVE LOCK LEVER (look at the top-right photo on page 39 of your owner's manual), then the 2nd (or middle) position is the one with the symbol that looks like an open book. This position is NON-REGEN (it is locked out!).
The REGEN position is the 1st(or top) position. The symbol is an unlocked-padlock... showing that REGEN is "unlocked", or functioning.
With this understanding, the REGEN operation is faster, as expected.
And on rollback, where Mark tells us there is never a REGEN function, regardless of lock-lever position, both tests were non-regen, and both had, therefore, the same speed.
It seems like everything is working "hunky-dory"(anybody know what THAT means?)!
Thanks Dan, for all your work,
Larry
