This is likely the issue. I have that happen to me as well and it seems I must have the lever between the 2 functions.It wants to know if your sure you want to dump itYour probably hitting a sweet spot between normal dump and quick dump.

I do not own a GC but the loader valves (on my MF2660 and others) are one of my pet peeves. Not saying this is your issue but I had that "won't dump" issue on mine a few years back. Mine was a NIMCO brand. When it was new or still under warrantee AGCO replaced it with another bad one that had exactly the same problem. Come to find out there were bad ones in the parts chain warehouses. I found several other 2660s with the same problem on the dealer's lot !! Finally I went to the NIMCO USA tech people (they are made overseas but sold and supported out of Wis I think it was) and NIMCO admitted "some bad ones got out of their shop." To shorten the story, the tolerances along the length of the spools can all be 'good' but if all are on the same edge of good they can add up to trouble. NIMCO sent me a kit which I installed and fixed mine to about the 95% level. On larger tractors that loader valve is a $1100 item.
As someone else said you might have loose cable connections under the base of your joystick too... I had that once as well.
Now my opinion: the blasted quick dump and 'go into regen' positions on loader valves are trouble going somewhere to happen. I would 100 times rather have a good old simple no bullcrap loader valve that worked 100% of the time like it should. The fancy stuff may be handy for heavy users but they cause way more trouble than they are worth in my opinion.
