FEL control

[batwing]

I have put about 8 hours on my new tractor and have only one complaint, the bucket pivot control is hard to move or will not move when cold, the loader goes up and down fine.

I have only put about 4 hours on my T353 so far but have not seen the same problem and we are seeing temperatures in the low 20s to mid 30s for the day. One thing I have noticed is on my contoller I can not raise or lower the bucket and change the bucket pivot at the same time. Does yours operate the same?

When it warms up and works without sticking I will check. It almost made it to 10deg today!

Can anyone tell me what the small button on the FEL controller is for?

It is for things like a grapple or thumb, it is just the switch, to make it function you have to buy more things.

It's to operate a 12 volt solenoid on an aftermarket hydraulic diverter valve. when you hold the button in it will divert the hydraulic fluid on your FEL tilt to any auxiliary attachment such as a grapple hydraulic ram

I took the rubber cover off and spray lubed the cables and seem to be working like a charm, while lowering and pivoting the bucket at the same time yes but very difficult for me to hit the sweet spot.
