Bobcat 873: Tilt lowers when lowering lift?

zghorner ยท 2022-02-11 09:37

With the arms lifted, when I lower them the bucket tilts down. The tilt doesn't move when lifting, only when dropping the lift. The tilt still works fine and has power and there are no leaks on any cylinders. This may be relevant: It started happening just recently after pushing the machine to the limit. I use it at my boat/RV storage and had to help a customer lift the front of a humongous (triple axle) 5th Wheel camper...the machine was maxed out on lifting ability several times. I didn't notice it that night but the next time I used it the problem was apparent. thanks everyone I really appreciate any advice.
