I am the new owner of this backhoe ..its ben great ..used it aprox 10 hours no problems ..it has a thumb and i was using it for tree removal .i was holding a log with bucket and thumb and swing to my left was just to then end of travel and i could here the pressure i try not to not hit the end but it seamed to keep going.now it wont respond to any movement and i can here the hydro system strain if i idle down it will even stall..if i try to restart it fights the starter but if i hold front bucket controls i can start it as it is trying to move it ok ..i can see all linkage is hooked up and seams to be moving to full travel.. she seams to be straining so bad with controls in there center position...I am thinking poss releaf valve or leaking spool valve ..controls never jamed or felt binding ....thanks for your input....
