Hi guys. I have a m7040suhd Kubota with an alo self level loader. Set up on a joystick. All standard .Regardless of brand they are all fairly similar. I have a problem. The loader will crowd fine but when I am driving towards a pile of dirt say and I want to lift or lower the bucket ready to work it won't respond.
If I come to a stop I can lift up and down.
It gets worse with the tractor running longer so obviously heat of oil? The dealer thought one of the hydraulic quick couplers was faulty and replaced them which sort of fixed it for a few months. Sometimes if I stop the tractor and start again this lets the loader work. It gav3 me heaps of trouble on the weekend. Maybe there is some junk in the line? The tractor is fairly new hours wise 200 hours but 5 years old.
When I lift the loader it loads up slightly I think but doesn't respond.
I have checked= all pins not loose on loader, no bent arms or parts, no kinked hoses the joystick cables are all tight and fine. Oil level is fine. Any tips or suggestions? I don't feel like going back to the dealer it is not the one I bought the tractor off as I moved states and think the lack of relationship is maybe making the dealer not belive I know my stuff. I would like to have a go myself at solving this problem. Any tips appreciated.
Is thinking of changing the filters and oil or going to an independent tractor mechanic.
