T25 (2024) grapple stopped opening/closing

LOL yup. Most of my "problems/questions" turn out to be something silly, so a wire off didn't require
a thread really, but hey.... what else do I have to do but post on TBN?

That is right, the only good solution to most of the problems is to have enough beer and when i was younger, enough smoke.

I find sitting and looking at it for long periods also helps

Hey, a silly or stupid problem is always better than one that lightens your wallet!

How is that T25 treating you? Has it filled in the shoes of that Foton nicely?

I prefer a good movie or some sport to take my mind out of it. Also, very often a solution comes in the sleep. I just wake up and see exactly what i should do. The problem is, in the morning the only thing i remember that the solution was there, but never what is was LOL....

Honestly, I am not impressed.
I don't care for hydro static drive apparently. I have found it's power limits many times already.
The dash "glass" fogs over in humidity. There are already some rust spots coming out on brackets etc.
My biggest issue is the drive. I find it noisy. Others tell me that's normal. I have hit limits I don't think
I should have hit as far as taking a bucket load up a slight incline. By slight I mean enough you'd watch
the height of your load, but only the front wheels are on the incline. Like dumping a bucket over a
slight ditch edge.
I see quite a bit of twisting in FEL arms etc. when lifting what should be a very possible lift. For example,
if I catch something like a few tiny brush roots as I lift, everything tilts or twists.
A Kubota-fan buddy of mine says I am expecting too much. Comparatively, when I expected too much from
the Foton, I was impressed, not disappointed.
