1032 push-off arms extend one at atime, not toghether

Got an old 1032 bale wagon that sat for years, completely drained of hyd fluid, and have been going through it. I tested the push-off arms, and one (right arm facing fwd) extends first, and then, as soon as it is fully extended, the left arm will extend. The same is true for retraction- the right one will retract fully before the left one begins to retract.

Obviously, this will not be helpful when unloading hay. I have checked the interlocks and everything seems to be working properly. Maybe all I have to do is actuate the push-offs a few times to get them to start working together? (Air in the system)Or is there some other problem?

Thanks.
 
IIRC, what you are seeing is NORMAL.

There's no "flow divider" or any such thing to make them extend evenly.

In normal use, once the first one to extend touches a bale it will stop and the other one will catch up, then they will extend more or less together as the stackliner moves away from the stack.
 
That is perfectly NORMAL! They even up when under 'load' pushing off.They may retract unevenly,but again,normal.
 
Thanks all, yes, it is perfectly normal- I have run a stack wagon for years, but I never tried extending the push-off arms without a load before! After spending about an hour under the machine, looking at how the two rams were plumbed, it began to dawn on me... under a load, the two will even up.

Well, I hope it wasn't TOO stupid of a question, and maybe someone else will have the same wonderment in the future. Thanks for the help.
