Yanmar, Basic, small cab but carnt fault the performance. Company I used to work for had a 5t and 10t, when I finished there the 5t had just over 4000 hrs, and would be fiar to say wasnt always looked after and they had some problem with the boom and that was all. Little but loose but that what happens to any machine that not greased regularly.

I know your a new member and you cant put a new post up untill you get a few post under your belt. I really cant be much help other then start by looking at where those valves get there hydrolic feed from , it could be that is off the last pump and the coupler has a problem or there is a pump issue. poss a valve issue. Best of luck !

Try checking out the pattern changer, if equipped. If it is in between settings it can cause some of the issues you describe.
