Hi All We have a Cat 300.9 Ser Number OLJM02764 (not the biggest machine in the world) But its bent 3 top rams in no time at all. Looking to test the pressures but CAT don't seem to have them over the phone would anyone on here have the pressures it should be. Or has any one got any other ideas. All looks fine cant see any bits bent at all.

    Was somebody banging the bucket trying to break concrete or penetrate hard ground? That can bend the stick cylinder.

    No its done it on different sits. its like its over powering one way I think. even though its a little garden tool.
