have a new to me (2001) ls180. when you press the boom pedal to the float position the hyd system makes a sound like its laboring under pressure. i have not noticed this on other new holland loaders that i have operated and wondered if this was correct for this model, or if adjustment is required. also shouldn't pedal detent in the float position? thanks for the help, tom.
there is no adjustment to the foot control linkage. it does have a float which has a locking detent. take off the valve cover and see if it is moving full stroke. either the pedal is not moving far enough, something is stuck, or in the way of it moving.
When you move the boom foot pedal to the detent, is it actuating the aux hydraulic control on the right hand stick? This is what mine does, rather confusing... haven't figured out how to make the boom float. Running into this issue again as I have to diagnose a no start, but I can't raise the boom out of the way
