Case 590 SN brakes

101equipmec ยท 2026-05-07 13:08

We just recently purchased a 2021 case 590 SN, and the brakes are weak, been trying to bleed them and have had no improvement, when we received the machine it was almost empty on the hydraulic fluid, ran the machine and got the fluid level to stabilize, but we have no brakes, the dealer told us to open the bleeder and leave it open and just keep pumping the pedal without closing the valve. The question is this the right procedure for bleeding the brakes ? If so could it be a bad master cylinder? If feels like we are missing a step somewhere, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    How many hours has this machine done? If the wrong oil has been put in the axles, the brakes won't work either. Do you know any service history on it?
