Snowblower chute slow in one direction

[SEJones720]

I have a Kioti DK4210HSE. My snowblower chute rotates normally to the left but is very slow to the right. This problem began right after I had removed the caps on joystick valve assembly to clean and fill with grease to repair my float which had become difficult to disengage. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Definitely a Newbie! Thanks!

Is the chute rotation tied into the front loader hydraulic circuit?

Try reconnecting disconnects and check for snow/ice in fittings.

Yes, it runs on the same lines as the bucket curl when the FEL is mounted.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

If that's not it, a lot of times the bucket curl circuit has a regen feature on the dump side. You would feel a "hard spot" when pushing the lever to the right and when you push past it the rotation would slow down.

Thanks, everyone! I disconnected and cleaned the hydraulic lines and that did the trick! This was my first posted questions, but you guys have helped me many times with my tractor over the last few years. Thanks a bunch!

Glad it was easy fix.
