- 2006 Kubota L39 TLB
Greetings. I'm brand new to this site AND so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I've been working on reroofing my house on my days off. Because of my newness and sheer exhaustion, I apologize for my stupidity in asking a likely common question.
I bought a 2006 Kubota L39 TLB with 136 hours on it. It looks pretty much brand new (but I do know that bad stuff can happen even if it looks new). I've used a B21 for a long time and it seems that the hydraulics on my L39 aren't very strong. There is also a significant drift in the tilt of the bucket. I've been using the pallet forks for an elevated platform while I work in the roof. Within minutes, my forks have a 10 degree drop (I'm guessing). I haven't seen any leaking in any of the cylinders or lines.
I just don't get the limited capability of the bucket and the sag. Can you give me some advice on where to start? How do I test the strength of the loader compared to the factory settings, can the strength be increased? How do I fix the sag...
Thanks for your input and again, I'm sorry for the newbie content. I'll do better when I get some stuff done and some good sleep.
