Hydraulics question - not sure what it's called

Posted by CB in central NY on November 27, 2006 at 08:13:05 from (63.162.143.21):

Greetings.

I have a Ford 2910 tractor with a Series 700 industrial loader. I also use this tractor to run my hay grab after the accumulator has bunched the bales up. I have two levers that control the loader - the left one lifts and lowers the arms and the right one tips the bucket (or the grab).

On some newer loaders and other hydraulic equipment I"ve seen a feature that lets the bucket remain level (or constant) relative to the ground regardless of where the loader arms are. I believe it"s called floating hydraulics ? (not sure) It would be great for my hay grab to do that so that I don"t have to adjust the grab level between unloading a wagon and stacking in the barn.

Is it relatively simple or relatively complicated to change the system in such a way that my loader could do that? Does it involve simply replacing the control valve or is there more to it?

Thanks in advance to all those who answer.
