Hello! I’m looking for those in the know, which is why I came here. I purchased a John Deere 244j last year for snow removal. I am new to anything other than skid steers. It’s around a 2006 with about 5000 hours on it.
What I’m noticing is that when I get going, it starts bucking badly back and forth (bouncing front to back), if that makes sense. Sometimes a rough spot in the road does it, but sometimes it just starts doing it on its own. I’ve noted that about 14 miles per hour is when it often starts. Backing off on speed usually stops or reduces it. If you don’t back off on speed, it gets to be a pretty severe ride.
My question is this. Is something wrong with it, or is that the nature of a wheel loader? If something is wrong, any ideas what would cause this?
Thanks!
