Hi, I have a 2005 Takeuchi tb1.6 which has done 1700hrs. I never work it hard but lately when under load the hydraulics have started to judder and seem to have lost power when it's hot. Levels seem OK and everything functions normally until hot. Any ideas please?
Oldlag, I have never even laid eyes on a Takeuchi machine but the symptoms you describe on our low hour Komatsu backhoe turned out to be a sticking swash plate in the main hydraulic pump. Komatsu replaced it on warranty. Maybe worth checking out.
Thanks for your suggestion Spanner, I'll get that looked into, at least it's somewhere to start! Regards, oldlag
