MF 5712 hydraulics

[Beames]

Mate of mine had a brand new 5712 delivered this afternoon just in time for second cut. We were a man down so jumped off the buck rake and went out to fill a load. It has a loader fitted so tried it up and down and was amazed how slow it was. Took the full trailer back to the yard to tip and again amazed how slow it was tipping. Altered the one valve on the valve block but made new difference to the speed it tipped. Any body know if the hydraulics can be adjusted? it would fry my brain if it was mine

Is there a button on right-hand can pillar that should lock auxiliary pump and main pump have that set up on and 6613 at home

Not sure. I’ll have a look tomorrow morning. I take it that would be a fuel efficieny saving thing to turn the main pump off and just run off the auxiliary?

Called double pump, most loader spec 57s have it and it makes a big difference. Last one we got at work needed the nuts at back of spool block adjusted as lever wasn't travelling full distance.
