Hi guys, I've got a question about testing the negative control pressure on my excavator. The machine is a 4300c linkbelt,which I have talked about before on this forum. Today I teed into the negative control lines to my regulator,one in each end of my control valves. My pressure is at 590lbs as it should be at full throttle,and as I move my controls to curl bucket and dipper in,it goes to zero as it should to adjust the swashplates plates in the pump. My question is , when I extend the dipper and bucket, the one side hydraulic control valve goes to zero, but the other does not. Does this seem correct ? I would think that both should drop to zero to signal pump just like when curling in. Any thoughts?
