Hi Guys, On any new machine would you expect the blade cylinder to hold indefinitely? Working on steep slop I have to keep pushing the blade down every 10 minutes or so as it is fading. Is very annoying and I have worked machines where this does not happen. Do you think it should be fixed by Kubota or is it normal on some machines.?
Yes, you wouldn't accept having to adjust a stabilizer every ten minutes. I'd say that is way too much leakage.
I got one in April and spent some time on the slopes and never had to adjust the blade.
I may be pressure relief by passing if you are bouncing around a lot or lifting machine off ground with the hoe.
