    Electrical issue

    are they seperate lines or do you mean that one side of the auxiliaries on the boom are working? E.g if you had a tilt bucket plugged in, it will tilt one direction but not the other? If so, I would imagine it would be in breaker mode/return to tank mode/single flow direction mode. This can...
