My M7040 4 wheel drive, the tilt on the bucket works slow or stops at the mid range point when tilting the bucket up or down. Any tips or suggestions will be helpful. I am new to this board. Thanks, Ray

Interesting, I have a Bush Hog FEL on an L 235 that does the slow down at mid point, but it always moves on, never stops. Just thought it was normal, but I don't like it.

Are the rams on your tilt cylinders bent? My Dad's M4030 w/ a Bushhog FEL started operating real slow at the mid point of tilt. I discovered I'd bent the rams while using it to load logs using a set of forks. I fixed the problem by purchasing & installing 2 new tilt cylinders from Surplus Center. Hope this helps!
Something is amiss. My M7040 w/LA1153 does not have those characteristics.
Not much help on the cause or solution except for you to know that not all M7040s do that.

Update: Problem found and will fix when money and time permits. pat331 thanks for the advice, I checked it and both are bent. This is a great forum. Thanks to evryone else for the advice!
