Can anybody give me advice on this unloading auger problem?
The unloading auger stopped folding in and out, also no reel response.
I checked oil pressure on hydraulic circuit. I get a 350psi when no hydraulics are activated. When steering or lifting the header pressure jumps to 2,100psi.
I checked the fuses they are good.
As I understand the steering and header lift get priority over the auger and reel. So maybe the circuit just can't produce the access oil to operate the rest. I did a flow test on the pump.I got good flow at 2,000psi even after the oil heated to 60C.
I thought maybe the relief valve close to the header pump may be bypassing an access of oil so I installed a restrictor valve on the hose going to the return, while monitoring the pressure to make sure it would not over pressure the system. So to me it seems the priority valve in the valve stack is not shuttling. I removed the valve and it doesn't seem stuck.
Has anybody had similar problems?

somethings telling me you should check your grounds unscrew wiggle and retighten, is it a hydro or electric problem?

The 12v test light comes on and the solenoids gets magnet. But not sure where I clipped the ground of tester to. I will verify the valve stack is fully grounded and I get 12v from solenoid terminal to valve body, tomorrow morning.

Just think I remember reading on forum long ago someone had that issue they recommended reground the ground lug on the right side of cab, been a while since I looked at a 1680 think I remember a ground lug and a wire terminal there

We had our unloading auger quit too. But it would move a little when you returned switch to neutral. We also had fore/aft on our machine. When we looked at the schematic two solenoids actuate for every function. The bottom solenoid actuates everytime. It was the one that was bad. We bought a used one from a wrecker as none were available thru parts. Works fine now. Reel lift was goofy too.

Thanks for all your advice.
It turned out to be a bad connection on the solenoid which gets 12v when auger, reel lift or reel speed is activated.
