Backhoe Ford/New Holland backhoe 555E

Love our backhoe, but lately while transporting the backhoe slowly swings left making a dangerous collision situation if your not mindful. I think I should be looking at the valvebank. What do you think?

Either that or a cylinder
Move it to a hill side leaning that way and shut it off. Then wait and see if it continues to drift. If it doesn't drift then the valve, and if it does the cylinder. That's just me thinking out loud

That test proves nothing. Either component could be faulty and produce identical results.

How can I find the fault? I have pressure gages and flow meter.

btu/hr = m × c × ∆T. Really? I don't think I'm gonna get a lot of help here.

Then you should move on.

Like many things, folks that don't have an cause/effect or opinion expel useless info

Ok I will. Sorry for the intrusion.
