    just wondering did anyone ever fit a soft drive to a loader a couple yrs old. Fitted an accumulator and solenoid over the weekend wire to a switch but it made no difference. The accumulator is .75. We connected it to steel pipe in the center of the pipe near the front maybe should have put it in the pipes on each ram. Bought it off a main dealer even tho it's fast parts I think. I'm thinking I could have it fitted to the wrong side of the ram.its fitted to the chrome part not the barrel if ye understand

    Have you got it piped in on the lifting side of the rams? Does it come pressurised?

    The accumulator may not be pressurised. It needs to be filled with nitrogen. Is it the right accumulator, as in the right pressure rating?
    It should go on the advance port side of the rams.

    Would the advanced port/lifting side be the the pipe going on to the closed point to the tractor or the other side. my take on it is that the barrel fills on the hose closed to the front of the tractor filling the barrel and forcing the ram out towards the back of the tractor lifting the loader. I'm now thinking I have the pipes on the wrong end. I'm sure the accumulator was filled already I wasn't to otherwise.
