I work for a company who runs about 12 140h's. When we first started with the h's they were so smooth by far the best blades ive ever run, but we had a lot of transmission failures. Our mechanics say the clutches on them are much smaller than on the g's.. So someone came up with the idea of reprogamming them to run different clutch pack configurations. The transmissions last forever now, none have failed since then, but my problem is that when they changed the configurations it completely ruined the way the blades feel they lope constantly really bad just cant get past it. Its easiest to see when spreading loads of caliche will buck u out of the cab, but i can feel it no matter what im doing with the machine . Has anyone else experienced this? Is their anyway to fix this? Ive tried all different air pressures, also tried wider tires nothing makes any difference .. I love running the blade nothing i would rather do , but with these machines like this have almost made me quit my job ive been at for 12 yrs just to go run a different machine . Got a chance to get on another companys 140h the other day on some loose base and the difference is like night and day...
Loping ? Do you mean, loping as the transmission is trying to upshift or downshift ? Like a car or pickup trying to get in overdrive, when you are on the verge of it shifting, and slack off on the throttle. Do you have the VHP machine ? (Variable HorsePower ) Something isn't right, has anyone talked to the Dealer ?
If it is bucking under a load,did you have the differential lock checked by the techs.Sometimes on our 12H's if the solenoid is on the way out it will act like that.:beatsme
I've hauled a lot of that in my time running old uke's. great times:thumbsup
make sure you have the updated solenoid valves in there. cat has updated the numbers. a lot of people were having so much trouble they started stocking their own replacement parts. there is a service letter out on most H-Series machines.
I'd check into the soleniod myself. How many hours do you have on it?
