New BH 77 ?

[eyegore]

Just put a new BH77 hoe on my '08 B3030. Swing left seems slower than swing right. Also, bucket curl is slower than bucket dump. Both of those operations the levers operate to the left. Is this normal?

New or new to you?
And no that doesn't sound right!

Yes, new hoe but not new to running one. Used to run a big ole JD.

Then I would get ahold of the dealer as it sounds like there is an issue with the spool valve, and they should repair/ replace it under warranty.

How much slower? In the manual for the BH 77 it does say that the speeds are different for curling out and in, but the left right should be the same. My BH77 does great. Same speed left to right but there is a difference in curl speeds.

When I put my brand new BH76 on my used L series...mine did the same thing...had a paint chip contaminating the spool valve...eventually found it then worked great. A few years later...same problem ( different speeds)... Same problem...contaminants. Dealer should pull apart the valve...I bet they find something in the valve(s)...
