I have had issues with service and other work from my dealer, now this, the BH was installed a couple years ago and the first problem was the line from the tractor to the BH was too short to take it off the machine. That fixed, I have used the hoe very little but now getting to the jobs I purchased it for. Yesterday I was moving boulders to build a wall and all was going good then just as I was seeing progress (still learning how to use this thing) the left swing was not staying where I wanted it (drifting) unless I held the lever left. Then I noticed some wetness under the how and when I checked, the hyd. fluid was all over the place. It was late in the day and I put the tractor away and will work on it today. Trying to find diagrams or parts for this thing is a pain! It's almost like it doesn't exist. I think I'll just take the hose off and go to a hydraulic dealer nearby to replace it. Probably won't be able to do that until Monday, weekend lost!

Went to the hydraulic shop and took the hose from the left boom swing piston and the guy looked it over and said it looked like the connector crimp looked other than well done. That is where the leak was because I put the new hose on and all is well. Amazing what $30.00 can do to fix a problem.
