Howdy all
I have a 2001 790 with a FEL and backhoe. Just recently the fell and steering stutter, in other words they are not moving smoothly. It's almost like some check valve somewhere is popping in and out. There seems to also be some noise associated with the stuttering. You can feel it in the steering wheel when turning left or right. The fel when lifting. Dropping the FEL is OK. If I lower the rpm the stuttering decreases, barely noticeable when lifting the fel. Any thoughts would be appreciated before I take it to the dealer for the big bucks. Trans oil level is good. Hydraulics do not have the kit installed to increase the pressure. Also I have not had a chance to do a test with the back hoe to see if it is duplicated there.
