Hi everyone!
I recently purchased a YM 186D with a factory FEL, I think its factory /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Well, the thing is, it seems a little weak while lifting dirt. I get only a little over half load of wet dirt and it won't lift the loader. I have the owners manual and service manual but neither say anything about how much weight the loader should handle. Actually, no references to the loader or pump at all. It has a hydaulic pump running off the drive pulley of the engine just for the loader. I disassembled the pump and it looks very nice inside. But then again, I'm used to looking at pumps for automatic transmissions
Am I expecting too much from this little awesome machine? It don't "feel" like I am. Just seems it should have a little more lift/curl power. Maybe I should splice into the pump on the side of the engine? Any actual specs on this loader available? Maybe I could fit a better pump on it? Any and all thoughts would be helpful.
