Tym 330 HST - stock FEL controls / joystick. When I open the bucket and release it sticks open, does not spring back as it used to. Bucket keeps going to open - rolling back in toward tractor. Took off boot on joystick, everthing looks intact for the actual joystick, its just not...

How long should hydraulic seals last? I have a bradco 3265 3-point backhoe. Had it about 7-8 years, probably less than 300 hours with it actually mounted. Relatively light use, a couple of long trenches, planting some trees etc. I just had the 3rd cylinder rebuilt, and the fourth is on its...

I have a bradco 3265 attached to my TYM 330HST. It supplies plenty of power to each of the cylinders - no issue there. However when dropping the boom it just releases - and drops almost uncontrollably. I try to manage it but it leaves me with an incremental jerky motion as I lower it at best...

Anyone have directions for tightening up a TYM 330-hst (or similar) - preferably with pics - on how to tighten up the slop in the hst pedals. The springs are in tact but its just sloppy and loose both directions and I generally have to press the opposite pedal to kick it back to neutral. I...

I had cylinder seals replaced(boom) because i thought i had a problem, but that does not seem to be it. I am exceeding my backhoe spec by of max 20" bucket with a 24", and when fully extended the boom cannot lift a full heaped bucket of soft, but wet sand. I cannot imagine it not being able to...

Roughly 50 hours on a 3 yr old bradco 3265. Main boom cylinder started a habit of shuttering badly. Pushing the boom down till you planted it in the ground stopped it. In the last 10 hours of use I have not seen it, but now I don't seem to have any strength in the boom. Can barely lift a well...

Have seen a lot of discussion on fluids... even want to qualify against a previous thread I am not talking about their standard hydro fluid. Costco carries a generic label product - called Premium Tractor Fluid. Claims to meet/exceed a variety of manufacturers requirements such as Deere or...

Previously the hydrostat would stop driving when not depressed , but now it will keep driving - it does not come back to a neutral position in between forward and back. I have to push the opposite pedal or brake to get it to stop. There is very little control over the speed, its real sloppy...

Have 60 hours on my new TYM 330HST. Was using the back side of the box blade which has a blade for cutting in the reverse direction. Great for doing some "dozing" type work. I hit a stump that was cut down just beneath grade last year. Stopped me dead. Got off and double checked everything...
