My blade holds up and down but will tilt if you grab the edge on something any thought
If his relief valve is stuck open, he would not have any hydraulic pressure to operate the blade.Is your pedal/linkage binding up? If I don’t kick mine back to “center” (has a $hit-load wear on pedal assembly) it stains the pump/motor (won’t stall, but doesn’t sound cool!)
I’m asking, but could his relief-valve play into this? Or he’d have blade issues too??
My D6C has a hydraulic tilt cylinder, It does NOT have angle cylinders, I'm assuming Independant is talking about the blade tilt not holding.Im assuming you are talking about the main lift cyilinders, and the D6 does not have hydraulic tilt cyilinders.
It seems to not move much been watching it I think it’s in the 2 main cylindersMy D6C has a hydraulic tilt cylinder, It does NOT have angle cylinders, I'm assuming Independant is talking about the blade tilt not holding.
When you raise the blade and let it sit does one side or the other (which ever side you think is drifting) sage lower than the other over time? If the cylinder which is drifting has that much leaking past the piston it should sage pretty quick with the weight of the blade pulling on it. Other wise it wouldn't be the cylinder causing the issue.It seems to not move much been watching it I think it’s in the 2 main cylinders
Cat recommends a good grade of 10w hydraulic oil for the system...I'm sure they would prefer if it was Cat brandThanks for the info mine is a d6c so she dose have a tilt cylinder been watching it and not sure that’s it I think one of my main cylinders are giving me trouble what kinda oil you guys run in your hydraulic
With a machine of that age they’re hardly likely to care. You could also just as easily use 15W/40 engine oil in it.Cat recommends a good grade of 10w hydraulic oil for the system...I'm sure they would prefer if it was Cat brand

AW32 / SAE10 here. As Nige pointed out, it's a pretty simple hydraulic system, so it could pretty much run anything as long as it's clean.what kinda oil you guys run in your hydraulic
