pagliaccio matto
New member
My pt 2425 won't move. It is a new machine I purchased last November. It now has 400 hrs. and has been running very well. All the other hydraulics work but the wheels won't turn. I checked at the side port and oil does come out when I turn over the engine. I also checked the pressure at this port. It was about 80 or 90psi. I think it should be more like 300psi. I did not find any obstuctions in the hoses or fittings between the pump and the pedals. It is as if the tram pump circuit is working, but just barely (not much pressure). It gave out on a steep incline with no way to brake. I was very lucky to have stoped it with the bucket. The lack of brakes in this situation is a very serious design flaw. I use this machine commercially and it is costing me alot when it breaks down. Does anybody know what might be causing this and how I can fix it? Any help would be VERY greatly appreciated.
