Greetings, everyone!
I'm new here so please forgive me if I'm in the "wrong place". I'm in dire straits here looking for answers. My 2004 Bobcat T300 (2200 hours) seems to have issues with the controls/lift arm "locking up". I have to shut down the machine, let it set, then after about 15 minutes or so it will sometimes "reset" itself and start working again. Had the dealer put a new actuator on to see if that was the problem. Still did it. A few months ago I checked the wires down by the foot pedal. Moved them around a bit and it didn't do act up since. I thought the problem was solved. Well, just today, it started up again. I've spent way too much in repair bills this month and would be very grateful to anyone who has maybe had this problem in the past or knows what else I can do to resolve this. It's getting really frustrating. It's a full cab w/door. The lift arm will just "freeze up". I don't always receive a code either. Does anyone have any helpful hints? All selonoids and fuses have been checked. It's been calibrated, etc. One more thing...this may or may not have anything to do with it but it seems like when I have either the soil conditioner or the root rake on is when it really tends to start acting up. Would it by some crazy chance have anything to do with it? ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
