two position dump problem

NevadaSmith · Jul 10, 2005

My owners manual states that there are two positioins for dumping the FEL on the joystick. By pushing thru a "feel" position, it dumps faster. However, on my CK25 I push the joystick to the right and it dumps and pushing past the "feel" it rolls back instead of dumping faster. I don't see how the "plumbing" can be bad with only 4 lines and all other things work fine. Is this a mis-print in the manual maybe?

TIA

Something is wrong !!
I don't know what it is, but I do know the bucket rolling back when on fast dump is wrong.
Possibly a problem in the control valve itself.

I can't imagine it working this way under any circumstances. If you're pushing to the right, and it starts to dump, then pushing further right should slightly speed up the dumping.
The only way I could see that it would roll back is if it happened with any right hand push, and that would mean the hoses are installed to the wrong connectors.
Ensure that you have the proper functions with each joystick location. Forward is down, backward is up, left is curl/rollback, and right is dump. If any of these don't operate this way, switch the quick connects around to get the proper function.
Make sure you turn off the tractor and move the joystick all around to release all pressure before disconnecting the hoses.
Pull back on the collar of the quick connect to release it and put it back on. Make sure that each QC clicks in when you replace it, and pull back on it to ensure that it's fully engaged.

everything works as it should...just this one position seems backwards.

Thanks for the info everyone...I will call my dealer and have him look at it for my 50hr service (almost there!)

hmmmm.... How does the 'fast dump' react if you have a heavy load in the bucket?

Sounds like you have a hyd line that has been installed improperly, or you need to check all your hyd quick couplers. Just un-pop them and put them back in. We have seen some weird things when couplers are not seated all the way. Check that and get back with us.
