Ok.. the tractor has 180 hours on it and noticed what I think may be a problem with the loader or hydraulics. While using loader to push snow piles today I noticed the following:
When I rolled the bucket all the way do dump snow I noticed that there was about a second and a half delay just prior to the bucket cylinders extending out all the way to full dump. When I rolled the bucket.. at just prior to the cylinders being fully extended... at about 95% roll when bucket lip was facing down... the bucket would actually swing back and fourth about 2 inches before the cylinders finally built pressure to push the remainiing 2 inches or so to full extension. It appears that there is no pressure in the cylinders during the time the bucket swings back and fourth. All of this happens when the bucket lip is about headlight level attempting a full roll to dump. Has anybody else noticed this on their loader? Might be worth a look. Im going to make a video tomorrow and show the dealer and see what he says.
