Had the dealer take my CK20HST back for 50-hr service. Over $300 with pickup, but seemed like a good idea to have the first one done by pros.
When it came back, three things were different:
- When I lock the steering, the hydraulics make a slightly different sounds. (I have no idea if that's important; I just try to attend such changes in case they signal impending doom.)
- The KB2365 backhoe makes a completely new screeching sound - like strained metal - under load, especially at long extensions.
- The left-hand hoe control (or something near it) sometimes leaks a few ounces of fluid.
I'm going to uncover the backhoe controls and try to find a leak. Dealer says it's not serious, and warranty has half a year to run, so I'll just look for a loose hose.
Dealer says that the metal screech isn't unusual, and that they might have greased it all up differently or something. Me, I'm somewhat worried. Any ideas?
Thanks!
