I have a B3030 and am just installing a B2782A front mount snow blower with hydraulic chute rotator. Upon connecting the rotator found it will only turn from right to left. Try to turn opposite and the lines tense up and the engine lugs a bit.
Switched the hoses, now pushing the joystick to the left gets left to right rotation but pushing the joystick to the right gets no right to left, the hoses tense up.
Took the gear off the motor, no change.
Switched rotator hoses (bucket curl) with lift/lower cylinder hoses on QD's, now rotator works both ways when joystick is moved to lift/lower and cylinder will raise and lower when joystick moved left/right but now no float on the cylinder so can't operate this way. Wouldn't really want to as it is counter intuitive.
I'm at a loss, anyone have ideas about why it won't rotate both ways when connected to the bucket roll QD's??
I'll be near the dealer's tomorrow so will stop in to quiz them about it but doubt they will have any answer beyond that I should bring the tractor in and pay them to fiddle with it unless they have seen this before.
