A friend of mine just purchased a used M59 with 650 hours, its in good shape, it was a rental machine I believe. It will not pick up the loader or the backhoe boom up at an idle, it doesn’t even seem to load the engine at all when you try and it seems like the loader and hoe are a bit slow but it will pick up a very full bucket of roadbase to full height and the hoe will dig and lift the machine no problem at higher rpms. Ive run these machines before and they will pick up the loader and the hoe at an idle. I'm wondering if it was a rental machine if the reliefs were turned down and if anyone knows how to check and where to check pressures on this machine? Also just wanted to add that the hydrostatic transmission seems fine and has no problem spinning the tires in 4wd.
