How and when does the relief valve work? Here's why;
I've got a BX2680 and a pallet of rock weighing at least 1000 pounds, most likely more. A while back for fun, I tried to pick it up and the tractor said "oh HELL no".
Today, I had to move that pallet of rocks.
I put an empty pallet on the forks and hand loaded it at a height of about two feet. I guessed that I when it got too heavy for the tractor, the relief would kick in and the loader would lower but that never happened. When I had what I guessed was max weight, I drove the pallet a few yards away and set it down. I couldn't tilt back or lift it any higher but I could put it down. Once on the ground, it wouldn't lift it again and gave me the same "oh HELL no".
Other than blowing out front tires from that much weight, am I about to break anything to "overload" the loader a few feet off the ground if it'll hold it and move it? If I couldn't tilt or lift, I'm assuming I had too much weight for its capabilities.
