Backhoe 28 XL HST with FEL and BH

[BudMan5]

My 28XL HST has about 95 hours on it. The backhoe has lost it's smooth movements and is instead quite a bit during movement. I am assuming this is a hydraulic issue. The owner manual is pretty useless. Is the hydraulic fill for the transmission located below the seat the same hydraulics used for the FEL and BH? Thanks for any advice.

Yes fill and dipstick is below seat. Have you check hyd. oil level yet?

They share the same hydraulic fluid. The location is posted above.

Sometimes a quick connect will come lose or get something stuck in it and cause changes in the way it functions. Especially if everything else is smooth.

Yes, ^^^^ this, check your hydraulic connections.

The dipstick shows on the low end, fluid is remarkably clean. I will pick up fluid today and get it brought up to the high mar. I am guessing that will be several quarts worth due to the large volume needed to fill an empty chamber.

MANY thanks for the replies!
