/ I added a Prince RD522 to my MF 1528 and it is barely working.In fact It was to control a frail mower but it can now barely lift the FEL. Whats wrong

Can you provide more details on how you installed this valve? Specially how it's connected to the system? A couple pictures may help too.
An RD522, rated at 25GPM, is an awful big valve for your tractor. You really want something rated around 10 GPM or so. This will provide much better fine control over that high GPM valve.
I hope this helps. I am really at a stand still.
What do I do with the other line that is connected to the Tee of the power beyond?Do I see a “tee” fitting in both of the lines to the new valve? I belief MF1528 has fixed displacement pump so all valves must be connected in series. You need to connect power beyond of existing valve to pressure on new valve. Tank lines can be teed together.
I only see two hoses to the new valve so presume no power beyond on that valve.
Does your RD522 valve have the power beyond feature installed and operable? If yes then power beyond from factory valve connects to pressure on the Rd522. Power beyond of RD522 connects to the line that was on the factory valve. So the oil flows from factory valve through RD522 then to what ever function the factory power beyond was feeding. Only line that you can tee into are tank lines.What do I do with the other line that is connected to the Tee of the power beyond?
Ok, so when I remove the tee at the power beyond where does the other line go or is it just capped off.You need to get rid of the tee on the existing power beyond fitting. You need a power beyond sleeve in the new valve (and yes, It's way too big for your application) and a third line from that valve for a sump return. Sump return is the ONLY place a tee can be used in this type of circuit. As oldnslo stated, all valves MUST be plumbed in series.
You need to get rid of the tee on the existing power beyond fitting. You!
Got it, I will try tomorrow.Thank you so much!You need to get rid of the tee on the existing power beyond fitting.
