Hello,
I have a 2006 Cat 287B XPS High Flow I recently picked up. It has roughly 2600 hrs on it. I'm having a hydraulic issue that bogs down the engine to a stall at idle when I go to feather the right joystick that controls the lift/tilt function. If I push it the joystick quickly for quick movement of the lift/tilt function it does not bog the motor and operates as it should. I have noticed it's mostly when trying to slowly drop arms or tilt back bucket when fine tuning grade. Another thing I have noticed is when you pick the arms up and let off, the arms slowly creep down. If you drop the arms down, it slowly creeps up. I have checked for sticking pilot buttons and all are moving freely. Any help on what else to check would be greatly appreciated.
