BX 23 hydraulic question

Yes.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I thought either The return line was being pressurized by too much flow going through it (not allowing the cylinders on the fel to drain back to the sump. Or that the system was dead heading lifting a PRV, again pressurizing the return. Or excessive flow robbing power from the fel.)</font>

The relief valve opens when system pressure exceeds allowable working
pressure. As the loader wasn't retracting against any appreciable load,
hydraulic flow to the boom cylinder was the path of least resistance.

Building pressure in the return-to-tank line enough to impact the
articulation of cylinders is a completely different problem. I doubt
that is the case here.

This will be the least expensive and most useful accessory you will ever
find for your machine.

gsxr1100,
You have made a valid point about it being virtually imposible to hook the hoses up incorrectly.At this point I have no idea what I did wrong when I assumed that the hoses were hooked up incorrectly. I'm sure it was operator error that caused my trouble, but it happend about a year ago. I have apparently forgot some of the finer details.

My hoses on the tractor side are color coded, but the marker is located under the tractor where they can't be easily seen.
