LA352 Loader problem

[MoBota]

I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems with thier 352 loaders?

I have lost my power down and up is a crawl only. I do however have up and down functions when I combine with bucket curl.....it's kinda tough to wratchet the big loads that way.

A couple weeks ago the loader on my B7500 acted that way. Thought something broke till I saw the 3PH lever had been bumped (and stuck) in the "raise" position. Everything went back to normal after I moved it to the center position again.................chim

I had similar problem with my JD 2010. I have a pair of remote couplings at the rear of my JD, the control lever had been bumped and stuck causing my FEL to be very sluggish and unable to lift any weight. Put the remote lever back in neutral position and all was well.

The service manager at my Sacramento Kubota dealer asked me if I was having slow/weak curl problems with the LA352 on my B7610. I thought the curl was weaker than it had been in the past. We're talking about over capacity loads here. Stuff I couldn't lift but used to be able to still curl back. I'd just skid the boulders along that way, even if I couldn't lift 'em.

He said he'd put me on the list he had for Kubota when they come up with a solution for the slow curl. That was six months ago, I haven't had any calls yet.

Pix is of one boulder. I moved the whole pile in the background to another storage spot.

Chim,

You are the man. The dealer and I had done a number of troubleshooting checks and nothing worked, after I read your post I went out and checked my 3 point lever. Yup, there it was bumped up in the raise position causing the hydraulics to go into bypass killing most of the loader power. With the backhoe on, I don't use (or look at) the 3 pt controls much.

Thanks, that saved me a $75 service call, and yes I called the dealer and told him my "tractor friends" solved the problem /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
