LS tractor bucket flop

George2615 · Mar 5, 2016

Here's a brief video showing the bucket flop when put in dump mode. In dump mode I can lift the bucket a few inches like there is no pressure. When dropping the loader arms to back drag the bucket will curl up a few inches requiring further dump action with the joystick to get the desired back drag angle.

One of these links should work. They all work for me.

Is that Float mode instead of Dump mode?

No, float mode works fine. That is dump mode. Loader valve does not have fast dump (or regen). Once you dump the bucket there was no (or low) pressure in the line. At that point if you float the loader down and start backing up to back drag, when the bucket touched the ground it would not stay at the set angle. As the video shows I can manually lift the bucket after completing a dump. I've since installed a flow restrictor in line which has virtually eliminated that problem.
