Goneill ยท 2023-05-31 18:16

Hey all, just purchased a x231 excavator, the issue im having is the unit does not like to turn. It will move forward and back but will not turn.the grade blade in front is also weak it will not pick up the front of the unit.all other hydraulic functions work great,plenty of dig power. Haven't checked pump pressure yet but pump isn't making any abnormal noises. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    Good day There are a number of possible causes, I suggest you check the pressures at the pumps and compare with pressures at the crawler motors, attached may help. The link is for a large file with more information. Kind regards Uffex H2 Weak crawlers P1.pdf drive.google.com
