Hi,
I've got a 2008 Caterpillar 305C-CR with about 4200 hours on it. Got it about 6 months ago.
When I started working with it during spring, I was lifting big rocks with no issues. During summer, the boom cylinder has been rebuild (new seals, new rod) by a shop supposedly very very good in this.
Since the rebuilt cylinder has been installed, I've noticed a loss of power. The same rocks I lifted like marshmallow before (rocks of about 4,000 lbs) seem out of reach, looks like the relief valve kicks in quickly.
What could cause this?
Thanks!
