All
My use will be very light . A little yard maint. in the summer and snow clearing in the winter. I was trying to level out some sand behind one of my sheds ( built up to the top of the grade beam and was touching the tin ) , and thats when the slow loader response came into play . The sand had piled up against the back wall over the last 20 years and I was trying to shave it down a bit . Very slow response makes it very difficult to an un-experienced operator . Thats about it . Just tinkering around .

Hi Doc
can i ask a few questions .
When you use the front end loader ,do you have any implement on the three point linkage ?
What position are the hydraulic levers in when you are using the loader and how do you control the loader i.e up/down/hold?
With a standard mf 40 loader it will take 11to 14 seconds to go from the ground to max height using the main hydraulic pump.
Happy Days

Hutch .
P.s summer is here at last Beutifull weather.

I'm not sure where my levers are . I am presuming they were up , or else nothing will work, right ?? I did grow up on the farm and we had a allis wd45 with power steering and a ford 8n , so I am familiar with three piont hitch workings . I will check the brand and cylinder size of my loader next week , when I go to the farm . I am thinking it is an allied loader ( yellow ) . I have a two lever spool valve mounted on the left loader upright , with my feed from the top of the lift cover . I have nothing on the three point lift . Also , I cannot find the albums of photos of the systems or the technical details catalogue you posted since they changed the site here . Help please . Thanks

G,day Doc
firstly let me apologise, The fact that the Massey hydraulics differ can cause confusion,I suppose all hydraulic systems can ,My reason for asking is to ensure we are eliminating all possibilities
The Massey Hydraulics are different in the fact that if you put the hydraulic lift lever in the up position the hydraulics will lift up until they reach the TRANSPORT position then they will Neutralize in other words they receive a mechanical signal from the three point linkage ,if you have as in your case the front end loader the hydraulics may not be ALLOWING themselves to work to the best they can.
So Hydraulic lift lever setting, WITHOUT a selector valve under the seat ,(the hydraulic hose should come from any one of three points on the front of the lift cover to the control spool for the loader).
Set the draft lever ,the one nearest the mudguard to the up position and the position control lever ,the one nearest you to the CONSTANT PUMPING POSITION This will ensure the hydraulic pump is allowed to deliver maximum pressure and flow ,the main pump relief valve should be set at 2250 psi or there abouts and generally the relief valve on the control spool on the loader set about 2100/2200.psi.
Lets make sure you have the levers set in this position first.
I have made a short video showing the cycle times for the front end loader but not being as good on computers as at other things i am having trouble trying to figure out how to get it on the site .
Any how It,s Summer and it,s hot to hot to be in the shed am retiring to the verandah with a cold Ginger Beer.
Happy Days.

P.S. I am an old farm boy from back in scotland some forty five years ago.
