Massey 6270 electric spools.

[JLLM]

Got a 6270 with 2 electric spools, one has started playing up, it will work one way but seems to jam going the other, does anyone know if you can get a repair kit for them?

Anyone?

First thing to check is the simple things. Just like you would on a mechanical slice, check the couplers. These can fail and are easy and relatively cheap to swap out.
Then you get to whether the spool slice is faulty, its solenoid or indeed the joystick or switch in the cab. Best of luck with that. The easiest way is probably to get your MF dealer out with their box of tricks and dedicated box of spares specific to spool valves. Like all their specialist kits they should have the parts necessary included and when one is used up, it should be restocked and stowed in the kit box again.

Dealer came out this time last year, spent an hour fiddling with his laptop then declared it was probably a spool fault, said he would price some repairs then i heard no more. If you take the end cap off to expose the chrome rod you can see it works one way but not the other, which causes the joystick to come up with an error, the rod feels like something is jamming it if you try to turn it, the other spool turns freely hence me thinking there is a broken spring or something inside.

I don't believe that those slices are serviceable or have parts available. I may be wrong though, so its worth checking. They are Bosch spools and like most spools are very sensitive to dirt, but more so. You will find them used by several tractor manufacturers, including CNH, and they all have the occasional failure. Not a cheap repair either but relatively little labour involved, although every hour spent adds up.

We have had a few fixed over they years , they work for a month or two then go wrong again, better just buy a new one or make it manual

I have a ccls 6265 and bemoaned the fact it only had manual spools. Have been quite grateful it has since...!

Electrics are great for loader work, where a repeatable precise flow rate is needed, where a timer cut-off is needed and where it is co-ordinated through Datatronic to trailed implement draft control or auto front and rear linkage lift co-ordination. Otherwise manual levers are great.
Personally I love the electrics for tipping trailers. I set flow to 100% and timer for 30 seconds and just jump start the flow and let it get on with it. Also for the mower which only needs 25lpm to lift and 10 to swing back and forth to work.
