loader bucket delay on 6500

[Tim_in_IA]

when I am curling the bucket I notice a 3-4 second delay for response. Does this mean there is something wrong with the control or is this a fluid issue? I don't recall what specific loader I have.

Hey Tim. You are seeing cavitation. Do a search for it and you will find all the answers to it. You can buy an orifice kit to help it, but the key is really to operate at higher RPM's to keep the fluid to the cylinders.

so I can try a higher RPM? I guess I kept it low since I heard you weren't supposed to shift at higher RPM. It would be kinda ridiculous raising and lowering this for loader work. Must be acceptable just to run at higher RPM. I'll give it a shot.

Hey, Tim,

Yeah, the 6500 is a little slow responding at/near idle, but even 14-1500 improves things immensely.
