Never really noticed I had a problem with the swing until I was on a slope and saw the hoe would drift, or really free-swing, down hill when I was off the controls. On level ground it seems fine and appears to brake or slow down correctly during a full speed swing...but I'm not an experienced operator so maybe my 'fine' isn't really fine.
I thought there was a swing brake or equivalent to prevent down-hill free-swing but have no idea where to start looking to troubleshoot. I assume it could be as simple as a bad electrical connection or some really expensive hydraulic issue.
What ya'll recommend?
