I'm looking at an older hoe. It starts and runs great, but the rear hoe is extremely slow. The guy says it's due to being low on fluid. The front went up just fine. I'm a novice when it comes to hydraulics, I'm wondering if it might be the pump, as that can get spendy.
Front bucket went up fine, lowered stabalizers, a bit slow. Put the hoe out, swung left to right. Left was quick and normal, but right was extremely slow. It's foot opperated and the linkage looks bent, so I thinkt hat might be the issue there. Backhoe went out, down, but wouldn't come back up. I thought, with the front and rear cylinders extended, maybe the fluid was just low. Rear stabalizers lifted the rear up just fine, albiet a bit slow.
