Evening all. While plugging in the hyd pipes for the straw chopper I put them on back to front so the oil flow was backwards going into the chopper. Made no odds or so I thought until I went to slow down the floor speed and nothing happened. It's turning away fine just at full wack. It's a solenoid controlled valve that slows the floor chain with a potentiometer in the control box in the cab to speed up or slow the rate a bale is shoved through the machine. I opened up the valve block or whatever it's called to see if anything was bent or broken but I can't see anything wrong at all. I'm out of ideas at this point and I'm wondering if I should just get rid of the solenoid job and put in a manual speed valve. I've a piccy of the one in question on the phone I'll post up here in a minute and see what ye think. I would prefer to keep the leccy job as it's handy to adjust but a manual one won't be the end of the world. Hoping someone might know whats wrong. Tia lads.
