Loader "dead" spot

[MD09]

Jim,
Thanks for the info, I have been working in the marine industry for a very long time along with hydraulics as well and have never heard of cavitation in reference to a hydraulic cylinder before.

I would think since Hydraulic fluid is incompressible that this "outgassing" can be contained with correct pressure and making sure the cylinder is well bled of all trapped air.

My new Woods loader is being run frm my NH loader control valve. there is a bit of "slop" in the dump function when going from full curl to dump. At a point just over center the bucket move uncontrolilbly forward and suddenly stops. This was especially interesting when I was using it as a fork lift ( No forks) to lift stuff to a high shelf...

The bucket design has only one cylinder and it is real close to the centerline of the hinge pins on the bucket running dirt this is not an issue but trying to use delicate control it gets interesting.

Cheers
Rob

Would the float postion have anything to do with his issue?

The answer is no because float is in the circuit for raising and lowering the loader (forward/reverse of joystick). This problem is in the curl/dump circuit that is (left/right) of the joystick.

I had a chance to use it during the brief dry spell (summer) we had saturday. I stayed out of the fast dump mode, kept the RPM around 2100/2200 and it seemed to work a lot better.
Thanks
