Jeez... I'm sorry to hear you had so many months of problems. Bobcat had some early problems with the actuators, as you did, but later fixed the problem.
We have (4) S250 skid loaders, each have a Lift/Tilt issue.
1). The disconnect battery works, but does not fix the problem for long.
2). The switch from Hand controls to Feet had the same results.
3) Bobcat replaced both instrument panels and Lift/Tilt valve and still we have the problem, each machine has it to a varying degree.
4) The book points to a ground issue.
We use them on pavement in grinding/loading, constant impact environment.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Mossroad hit the nail on the head, your actuators are not calibrated, if I remember correctly from my days at Bobcat calibration goes like this, with your elbow on the left handle push it down toward your thigh all the way till it stops, then while you hold it there reach across with your hand to the right handle and pull it down in the same fashion, then with your free hand turn the key on (dont start it, just to the on position) and hold the handles in position for 5 seconds before releasing, then start and check operation, it's very possible that this will not fix it most likely you have a bad actuator this is the calibration procedure we used when we replaced actuators, lean on the service manager at the dealership for some warranty help even tho yours is out of warranty, best I remember those actuators were about $400
