I have a L3130 and am puzzled as to why the fine controll is not there on the 3pt. The 3pt moves up and down ok but small movements are not precise. Take the box blade for example and you want to lift it gradually or just an inch. So I pull on the lever a little bit and nothing, a little more still maybe nothing, a tiny bit more and it jumps 2-3 inches. When pulling on the lever a little I'm talking 1/8 to 1/4 or so. The heavier the load the worse it acts. Its not "that bad" but its mildly irritating.
Why isnt there precise controll like with the loader or my HTL?
Its almost like there is air in it or slight sticking on a valve? However it does this going down as well, jerky not smooth for small movements. It has done this since day one.
Another thing that started recently is the 3pt leaking down. This started immediatly after changing the hydraulic fluid. The 3pt will leakdown an inch or two. This happens slow enough that its not noticable. However when the sensor, valve whatever detects it has moved it jumps back up again.
What detects the relative position on the 3pt? Can the sensitivity be changed? Is there something I can check for these issues or do I need to call the dealer?
Thanks
