I need to load some bricks tomorrow and my machine can lift the skids no problem but once I start lifting the pallet, the auto bucket level kicks in and the pallet becomes unlevel and the one center cylinder doesn't have enough ooomph to get it back level and I am going to end up dumping the bricks on the ground by the time they are up to the trailer deck.
I thought this would be a neat option but it's turning out to be a PITA. Machine is my 853H. I looked at both service and parts manual and there is nothing in there about shuting it off. Looks like the valve would have to removed and bypassed.
Anyone know?
Thanks!
 
I mentioned in your other thread about a solenoid. Also just now noticed how you maybe are seeing a valve without any selonoids on it? I seem to remember some bobcats have a switch to turn off bucket positioning, however when looking at the part diagram, is mentions with or without switch. Look at the part diagram for yours. It shows a load check valve in the positioning valve. Maybe pull it and see if there is debri in it?
