Amazone sprayer on a Massey dyna vt

Occasionally I have to put my amazone uf 1602 on a massey ferguson 6718S dyna vt (normal tractor is a 6713S dyna 6) - the sprayer hydraulics work off the load sensing pipes on the tractor, when on the Vt it will switch off the front suspension or make it work funny as if it’s starving it of oil. The only way to get it to function properly again is to press the suspension button while either raising or lowering the sprayer boom- basically making the load sensing system at the same time but it soon deactivates again. Has anyone found a Similar issue with a vt using load sensing, it’s perfect on the dyna 6.

I suspect it's a shuttle valve issue.
I used to use a trailing shoe on a tank with a 76 and 7726. As soon as the macerator was spinning the front suspension used to mess about. When you switched it off in the field and back on for the road it was fine.
Dealer being an MF one was clueless 😂🤣😂

Assuming the power beyond pipework is identical on both tractors, I'd assume shuttle valve too. The other possibility is a lower charge pressure in the load sensing line on the vt tractor. Get the guages out and check.

We had that problem as well ,the dealer tried everything so did the mf area service guy it was still no better problem was on everything from a 6480,7480 7618 and 7620 in the end mf gave up on it and said it was software problem,

When I had it on a 6470 running a bedder on constant pumping, I just disconnected the autotronic running the suspension and bridged some wires in the connector so that the suspension solenoid was ignition live and the road/field switch worked up/down. Worked fine and rarely needed a lift. Having manual lift/lower was useful at times.

Did you check the charge line pressure?
