16LA 6' loader bucket
When attempting to pick up a small load of dirt on flat ground and setting the bucket in the proper scoop position, the bucket won't hold the set position as it wobbles a bit about the set position. Me off the tractor and gripping the bucket with all my somewhat feeble force it won't react at all as to what happens in the field of usage.
Is it the fault of worn out linkage bearings/bushings or the two hydraulic cylinders?
796 hours, bought new.

What do you mean it wobbles a bit? You mean play in the pins or the cylinders are leaking down?

Exactly-play in the pins or cylinders with no external fluid leakage. Which might it be?

It could be any/all and the quick attach if it has one. The best way to find play is to look for it.

No quick attach connection and no leaks throughout the entire hydraulic hose system/no leaking to see.

O.K. again.
Setting the 16LA bucket in any bucket position it will wobble up down/vacillate as to not hold a true/steady locked in directed joystick bucket position. Rebuild cylinders or bearings/bushings? WTHA?
