I've owned it for 5 yrs, 2000 hrs. When I bought it, one final drive hydraulic motor was weak. It's still weak. However, very surprising is that I cannot tell that it is one bit worse now than when I bought it.
The machine has 9500 hours on it.
I would have thought that if internals of drive were worn, that after 2000 hrs, it would have failed by now. There are no unusual noises coming from it.
Any ideas what the cause could be?
It doesnt make a lot of economic sense to purchase a new/rebuilt final drive ($7000), but it runs and operates like a sewing machine except for this one issue and so I will keep using it... but would like to see if there is a lower cost option to this one issue (that is more of annonyance than anything)
I'm wondering if using heavier hyd oil might help.
Anyone with any helpful ideas, please advise.
Thanks
