OK..........so today was FEL to Blower changeover day. Got the FEL off (right side "kick stand" doesn't want to lock easily so we'll deal with that) so FEL off. Mounted the subframe and blower no problem, nice system.....10mins.....

Connected all hydro 4 lines.

Chute will only rotate to the left.....will NOT rotate left..........I have the full hyro kit so the dealer installed a switch on my dash.....no clue what that does. HELP!!!!

So in summary, blower mounted fine.......PTO/Impeller works fine. Up down, fine......chute rotation left (same as bucket curl/scoop) works fine.....nothing for chute rotation to the right (bucket dump) or the deflection angle on the chute...


Thoughts?

Check to make sure that the hydraulic couplers are on all the way.

You may have to make sure you are pushing past the first "dump" position due to the infamous Kubota regen hydraulic system. When you push the stick right, there are 2 positions. You probably need the second position to operate the hydraulic motor.
Ask your dealer what the switch is for, they installed it and should have explained it to you.

Narrowed it down to the hydraulic line on the blower for the "blue" line......the hydro on the tractor works fine as the FEL was perfectly fine. I figured out the switch as I missed an electrical connector during install.

I'll call the dealer as they need to come out and install wheel spacers anyways as they were on backorder during the prep.
