Hello all, I just joined this forum based on a recommendation from a member at heavy equipment forum. I have a problem with my backhoe that's been really hard to figure out so far. Thank you in advance for any input. I'm running out of resources and need this machine running, so hear it goes! The machine has slow/weak hydraulics when hot but everything works/moves good when cold(especially the loader). The other issue is it slips in higher gears, low range it pulls ok but, in high range forget it, sits and slips under its own weight. So far, I've drained and refilled the transmission. Got a set of gauges tested the reverser pressure at 100psi which I believe is about 50 to 60 psi low. I have not been able to test the main pump pressure because my fitting doesn't fit, heading to hydraulic shop tomorrow for the correct fitting. What I understand is the problems may or may not be connected. I am also under the impression, that if pump pressure is low, it doesn't mean the pump is bad(must be flow tested to know?)not sure what to check where first, then what to check next, and so on. Sorry about the lengthy first post, trying to give as much info as I can.
Thank you in advance again
