773g faster reverse than forward!

[Farmereinar]

ahh, so much easier to post on here than skidsteerforums!

i have a 773g that goes much faster in reverse than forward (like 2mph faster), looking under the cab i see that the sticks travel further in reverse than forward

any ideas on what to adjust? thanks!

It is customary to find some earth moving equipment faster in reverse than in forward.Your machine may be designed that way.Ron G

Assuming that your steering hardware is tight and you have no pump/motor issues, steering speed can be adjsuted on the steering linkage. The linkage is 2 piece with an adjustable area in the middle. Loosen the bolts in center of linkage and make linkage shorter, this will give you more forward throw. It won't take much adjustment and be sure to adjust opposite side the same amount or machine may veer.

Also a good idea to mark the levers so that you can always fall back to that starting point if you adjust them too far.
