Extra hydraulic function

[Joohn]

Hi all, I fitted a loader to my Dexta and powered the hydraulics from service feed with the selector nob pulled out the hight lever controls the loader but when it gets high it locks out with max pressure, and will not come down this nearly had the tractor on it's side! I want to understand the working of this circuit, it was very dangerous when it locked out and had me up on two wheels. Can I fit a flow and return lines to a two way valve but how can I get full pressure all the time?
Thank's for reading Joohn

That sounds scary. I’d stop using it until it’s sorted. A proper loader valve with the correct feed and return is probably the way to go, but check the Dexta’s hydraulic setup before changing anything.

Would you have pictures of the setup you have, how the hoses are routed?

I would be scared to advise too much without a clear understanding of what you have set up there. I would hate to guess and make it worse.
