Just bought a used 2010 Wacker Neuson 28Z3. Hour meter said 630 hours so I figured it was a good deal for something to play with around the yard. The issue Im having is I can lift the machine with the blade but I cannot lift the machine with the bucket. Seems it has very little power. Also noticed when I push the stick out or bring it towards me, sgain…very little power. The machine travels great in lowand high speed. Where do I start troubleshooting? Im new to this mini ex world so go easy on me. Thanks in advance.
Do you have access to a pressure gage? Also will need the fitting to connect to the test port(s)
Im thinking a test gauge kit I found on Amazon might be worth it. Its a couple hundred bucks but compared to the rate they charge at the diesel mechanic shop around here, I think it will save me a bit of money. Plus, I’ll learn something I hope
Put gauges on all four pump test ports and all pressures are very close or bang on the recommended settings. Should i put a gauge on each of the cylinders also?
Is there a fine grade switch/setting someone turned on?
If your gauge is reading main pump pressure you should be able stroke each function and record the pressure. If you have a low port relief it will show up.
Not that I could find. Its an option I dont think I have.
Nothing is showing up. Put gauges on both stick and boom cylinders and both are matching pump pressures both extended and retracted. Weird
