LS Tractor Floppy Bucket Syndrome?

[Underdog57]

Yes its that simple

Agreed, Yes it is!

I'm even more confused now. People are talking valve problems, but this is the best explanation I've found, with a clear, simple solution.

Has the OP tried this? Did it make a difference?

Isn't this the dealer that the OP bought his tractor from? LOL

Thank you for posting that. I will try it.

I have been "babying" my tractor and running about 1500-1700 RPM. I will also keep the RPM's at 2000 to increase pump flow. Especially if using the dump.

Dont 'baby' your tractor. The DPF will hate you. But yes, this really is a non-issue.

Learn something new all the time. I had never seen this issue with any of my tractors. Guess I never saw the problem and think I know why. Just by habit I cycle the FEL before using and the only time I use tractor below 2k rpm was my Kioti using the backhoe, otherwise I’m at or close to PTO speed. Always thought my tractors were built to work so I could baby myself

I've never seen it either, but I always run my tractor at 2,000+ RPM.

It is in the manuals to cycle every thing 2-3 times before using!

Initial Loader Operation
Before operating the loader, fully raise and lower the
boom two or three times. Then raise the bucket
approximately four(4) feet above the ground and
cycle the bucket cylinders three times. Lower the
bucket to the ground. Check the tractor hydraulic oil
and the correct oil level.

To me, 'initial' means when first installed by the dealer or as a new option installed by the owner. Not each day of ownership afterwards.

Wouldn't hurt a thing though. If you are greasing your bucket as you should, it will help distribute said grease.
