hst experience

Ok Don here's what I did. I lifted the front of the tractor using the loader and then curl the bucket down and it's at that time the HST pop up occurred ...cag

Tilting the bucket down and pushing the joy stick to the far forward position will put the bucket into "float", which releases all downward pressure from the bucket. Might this be what you experienced?

Loader down then curling the bucket in the same way you do when you dump.. This of course lifted the front even higher at that time I felt the release that I suspect was hst pop up. Maybe I'm wrong here Don I never experience hst pop up before ...cag

Sounds like you engaged the float position. Float is used to skim the bucket across the ground without digging in.

When tilting the bucket forward with the joystick you will feel a detent or stop. Continuing to push the joystick forward past the detent will activate the float position, releasing all downward pressure. I believe you activated the float position and thought it was the hydraulic relief valve popping off.
