Mahindra Max24 HST FEL lowering speed

[kas64]

This might have been answered elsewhere in the forum and if so, I apologize in advance.

My question is, on this unit, is it possible, or is there a way from the factory, to slow the FEL bucket drop speed? Similar to the 3 point hitch flow control underneath the seat?
If there is, I've been unable locate it.

When handling a load, I've tried feathering the joystick but, it seems to fall pretty quickly once it hits the 'break over' point. Now it doesn't fall all the way to the ground but, drops pretty drastically.


Any help would be appreciated.

Try changing engine speed. you are running high rpm go to idle speed to see if that helps

or as crazy as it sounds speed rpms up to see if that helps.

On some cranes for example I would keep rpms up to have more soft control of the load line

If not it takes practice

Unfortunate reality is that some valves have little to no metering to allow slow precise (feathering) movements. The original valve on my Branson had none so I replaced the valve.

You can put a flow control or orifice in the line from cylinder to the valve with understanding it will work differently with loaded bucket vs empty.
