Hello,
I noticed this sound while clearing some light brush and using 4in1 bucket to move some dead trees. Is worse through mid travel range. The sound happens when lifting or lowering boom cylinders. It actually sounds like its coming from the bucket tilt cylinders but since the sound happens when lifting boom, then that must not be the case.
I changed Hydraulic Filter last year and actually just started using this machine for some light clearing of brush. I have never really used it for any heavy work.
I was planning on changing hydraulic fluid this season and have bought Hy-Gard and another JD filter for this purpose.
Hydraulic oil in sight glass appears normal to me, but I am no mechanic..
I goggled this problem and got several generic answers , many serious issues , and some seem to point to cavitation or air in system.
Been reading these boards for several years and can't recall anyone with an issue such as this.
Any suggestions what to do would be appreciated.
Thank you
John
