Help: Questionable loader on used tractor

[tomd999]

Hi,

I'm checking out a used Deere 3320 with a 300cx loader/4n1 clamshell bucket.

When I tried the loader function the "lift arm" circuit functioned normal however the "bucket" circuit was a bit odd. When you dump an empty bucket, (holding the lever in the dump position), it dumps qiuickly until it's at about a 45 degree angle to the ground, then dumps at what I would consider normal speed until it gets to 90 degrees, at this point it stops rotating rearward and appears to hang/swing freely like it's not connected to the cylinders for about 2 or 3 seconds and then finishes the dump stroke quickly to the stops with a bang. Throughout this movement, I kept the loader control in the same position. It does this as many times as I move the bucket through it's range of motion.

What's wrong with this loader? I don't want to buy a headache.

Thanks,

Tom

Nothing is wrong. You are pushing the joystick to far and it's going into the Regen mode. It will act funny when the bucket is empty.
