I have a few questions to post looking for help thank you..
Question 1. Me and my brother just bought a Linkbelt 2800a excavator one 7600 hours on it The engine is a four cylinder Detroit supercharged question is this a good machine and reliable ?. The engine runs strong and the hydraulics seem to be strong The only thing I was able to do with it is dig a little bit and it will lift the machine all the way off the ground.

Now the problem with it.. when you track the machine forward or backwards with full throttle in about 20 to 30 feet the machine will bog down you have to get off the track petals to let it build RPMs and then it will move again. So this is where I need help what could it be??? Talk to the guy bought it from he said he had the final drive rebuilt about two years ago about 1200 hrs on the final drive... Thanks for the help will wait for replies... :Banghead
