Ride Control

[d4c24a]

I have put quite few on largeer units..wa500-wa800's
cat 980's and 992's but the small backhoe?
Does the ride on that unit really need cushioning.?.
Think it may be over kill.....

you have had little roading experience with a backhoe i would guess

I drove mainly JCB loader/180 for 30 years.Most of it in plant hire, some as an owner driver. The early JCBs were difficult on the road let us say but since the advent of the 3cx range roadability improved bigtime. The addition of a 4 in 1 bucket and forks(added weight)made progress faster and less hazardous.Improved brakes and the addition of 4wd braking made road travel a lot better.I had an old 3C with a 6 speed gearbox which was clocked at 38mph, ah to be young and foolish again!The latest range are now easy to drive and have great road manners as well as being comfortable

Video was pretty nice to watch. I have ride control on my 580sm and its a dream. I need to get it repaired though, i guess it leaked or has other damage to it. Anything you lads would know of?

Thanks guys let me know

case 580sm, With your Ride Control, do you notice an improvement in ride with an empty loader bucked while traveling on the road? If so, how much improvement is there?

[case 580sm]

Hey lads thanks for replying,

When my ride control is on there is no improvement when travelling on the road.I don't know why, maybe a leak or broken part could be the problem, I'm also going to take a look at the relays and all the wiring.

Thanks

case 580sm, I must re-phrase my question. I do not have Ride Control on my TLB. What I was trying to learn is whether I want to pay and upgrade to one. So my question is, when Ride Control is working well, does it improve the ride on the road while the loader bucket is empty? If so, how much?
Sorry I can't advise you to what may be wrong with yours. I have no experience there. All I can suggest is if the problem came on slowly then your accumulator is probably leaking. If it came on suddenly, you probably have a solenoid malfunction. Maybe a wire connection, fuse or switch problem.

Oh sorry deon, I read that post incorrectly oops. I've operated new case backhoes with ride control, and it does help a lot going over bumps and rough terrain. I would spend the money if I were you for the ride control. I've only operated case machines all my life so I wouldn't know how it would work on your deere or caterpillar backhoes, but everything these days is pretty compatible with eachother so you wouldn't be dissapointed.
