Hello everyone, need some advice on what is a somewhat intermittent but very frustrating problem.
Tractor is an L3710 HST WITH CAB/Kubota FEL/scraper. Hours are 260. The side to side action of the handle works flawlessly. The problem is SOMETIMES when lifting or lowering (front to back motion) it feels like the lever sticks and the rams are not getting full fluid (even though the range of the stick seems to be all there.)
Another way to explain it is when it's acting up, the FEL raises and drops extremely slow.
Then, as if nothiing happened, it works fine again.
Maintenance history is my understanding was all fluids were changed at 50 hours......I changed engine oil and filter at 150 and again at 250.
When it started acting up, I changed the hydraulic filter.......will change the 10.3 gallons of hydro here shortly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
