Hello All, hoping someone can help me figure out this issue. I received my brand new tractor with the backhoe already attached. When I try to use the backhoe I noticed that it did not move correctly, as in it was extremely slow dipping the bucket out and trying to swing the boom left was also slow.
After messing around with the controls I finally figured out that the problem was not hydraulic in nature, but is really a problem of the control levers not sitting centered in the cover. Just leaving them in a neutral position has them sitting much closer to the outside side of the opening, which means when I move them toward the inside position there is a pretty good size gap from the lever stem to the opening. But when I move them to the outside position they contact the opening side before the hydraulics functions. I removed the rubber boots, and that helps, but there is still not enough room to function correctly.
Other than bending the control stems I can't really see an easy fix. Any ideas? Thanks for any help...........RR
I think this is probably in the wrong section, will move to Implements section, sorry
