Hope this is in the right section but im have some problems, please ear with me if i dont explain right but ill try my best.
I have a 2002 Kubota KX41-2S with 1200 hours on it. About 2 weeks ago i was doing some digging when i noticed the boom dipper arm would not come in or out on its own, but would come in and out only if i was doing 2 controls ( like slew left or curl the bucket etc) Also one of the tracks was traking when i tried to move the dipper arm on its own. After 2 minutes or so the machine came right. I checked hydraulic fluid and it was grand and the valve chest ect seem dry and no syashed hose's or leaks.
Yesterday 4 weeks later it happened again only worse.......... the dipper arm wouldnt go in or out on its own and the boom arm wouldnt go in or out on its own, but when worked together it was grand. Also if i tracked backwoards(away from the blade its grand) but when i went to track foward (towards the blade) the levers felt very stiff and hard to push like something was blocking them. Again after a few mins it worked grand. But this problem has me worried. Anyone ever have a similar problem, father is a mechanic. I found an online manual with the hydraulic setup as i take it is that. Going to change the hydraulic oil and filter, see if it helps but im only stabbing in the dark at this.
Any help would be great and sorry for the long post.
