Hey guys just got my excavator back together. 2005 Volvo ec35, i bought a complete, used cabin/top section after mine caught on fire. everything works good except when I go to pull my dipper in, it wont pull it very well without curling the bucket (same stick) neither will really work without the other function being pushed too.... it is a pilot controlled joystick.

Something stuck somewhere maybe?

Swapped out switching valve (for alternate controls) and joystick, still no dice.

Both joysticks share the same pilot control, there Is a "T" behind the seat and the left joystick works fine.

good day
It sounds as if you have a couple of lines crossed - check out the feed to each of the main valves would be my suggestion.
Kind regards

As mentioned above, but also verify P & T lines are clear. On the large platform machines, the RCVs have filtered inlet fittings. Make sure you don't have trash jammed up against one.
