B2601 and BX2755HD problem solved

Have my new blower hooked up and having an issue with hose connections. Currently have the up and down for the blower hooked up to the white and yellow ports. Works perfectly. Therefore the chute rotator has to be hooked up to blue and red. Chute only rotates one way. Switched chute with up and down and it works perfectly. This leads me to believe the problem is now with the tractor. When I disconnected the fel everything was working. Anyone have a suggestion?
Update: to all who responded, Thank You. The issue was as suggested. I was not moving the control over far enough to the right. Chute works as designed.

If your B is the same as my BX, white/yellow are correct for lift.

I don't have the rotator, but if your curl/dump worked on the FEL, should work on the blower.

First - make sure the quick connects are seated properly on the rotator circuit.

Second - it seems I recall something about a curl/dump detent that somehow works with the rotator. Unfortunately, I don't recall or know detail, and it didn't seem to make sense to me at the time.....

Certainly not an informed opinion, but doubting it's the tractor.

On mine the chute rotation is on the dump curl, and to the right you have to go past a detent like for the float, and it goes kind of fast. To the left it is more controllable. So if it is all the way to the left it will seem like it is not working.

There are two ranges in the fel dump function. When you first move the lever to the right there is no hydraulic pressure to the cylinder, the bucket dumps by gravity. If you move the lever hard right you put hydraulic pressure on the cylinder and dump much faster. So for the snowblower chute rotation you have to move the lever to the hard right position.

Update. I needed to do some work with the loader so I reinstalled it and it works just as it should. I'll try it again because this doesn't make since. When it was hooked up it would swing left but not right. Sounds like what is being described, first time user so probably operator error.

If your valve is like mine on the BX25, there is a detent to the right (bucket dump) that affects my hydraulic chute rotation. You have to be sure to push the handle way to the right to get the rotator to turn to the right.
