    Hydraulic Question

    My new helper is a L2501 with FEL and BH77 hoe. It now has a total of 6 hrs on it and my concern is regarding the hydraulic system. After using the little feller it will not hold it's head or tail up for even 8 hrs. ie: the FEL will fall 15-18 inches and the BH77 bucket will fall 1/2 way...
