It sure would be nice to slow down the hobby-horse bounce when I'm traveling down rough roads with a front bucket full of dirt.
I'm told that commercial tractors have a "ride control" setting that allows the bucket to move a little and reduces the bounce. Apparently a bypass moves a portion of the fluid supporting the loader arms into and out of a pre-loaded? fluid accumulator. The result is the bucket rides more level and so does the tractor.
Does anyone have any knowledge on how this works?? Or better yet, has anyone devised such a system for their tractor?
thanks, rScotty
