I inherited a new holland TC33D.
I was moving some dirt and spreading it.
Then the bucked stopped dumping (rotating down) when empty.
So I changed the hydraulic fluid and filters.
That stopped the squealing and "cavitation"
But the bucket still won't rotate down when empty.
I can scoop up dirt and with a full bucket I can dump and fully rotate down.
But not with an empty bucket, it will only rotate down a little bit.
The other thing I noticed is when I dump a load and pull the tractor forward, lower the bucked and back up to spread the dirt..... The bucket just rotates back up.
The hydraulics won't keep the bucket rotated down.
I can't find any hydraulic leaks.
Any thoughts on what to do next?
Thanks
Kurt
