I got my 4-in1 bucket yesterday, but now it seems like my FEL is kind of jerky. The bucket lowers and dumps very quickly now, making it difficult to do things smoothly. Is there and adjustment I can make to reduce the speed of movement, or reduce the sensitivity of the DSCV??

Thanks

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

Is it possible that SCV is "plumbed" improperly?

Disconnect the 4-in-1 clamshell part, leaving only the bucket and loader portions hooked up... is it back to being smooth?

If so... then maybe this one circuit...? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Not that I have any experience.... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What JMIII said, also, make extra sure that your hydro level is right. The additional cylinders require more. Low Hydro makes for jerky operation.

How much more does the 4 in 1 bucket weigh than the stock bucket ? ..you may just be experiencing the greater weight of the clam bucket. Some of these buckets can be pretty heavy..
