Takeuchi TL140 drive controls seem to be super touchy for turning compared to what they were before, if straight tracking forward or backwards seems like you have to all but stop forward or rearward directional travel to get much of a turn out of it then when it does it is jerky as all get out. When going straight forward if you go to stop you have to pull the stick to reverse to keep from getting an extra half of a turn out of the RH drive motor pushing you forward and left almost everytime you stop. Where should a guy start with this? Thanks
How many hours do you have operating a Takeuchi track loader and in this particular machine? How many hours are on the machine? New operators and even very experienced heavy equipment operators new to the Takeuchi track loaders always find the Takeuchi track loader machine to be twitchy when driving and can't drive a straight line without thought until at least several hours in it. I own a TL130 and can send you the service manual.
I've got around 5-600 hours on this machine alone, thats just since I bought it from the neighbor he had it for over 10 years before that of which I've spent time in the seat of it then as well. Several years on and off operating tak's and all of the big three at work depending on who they're currently leasing from. This is almost the opposite of being able to drive a straight line, if your going in a straight line its almost hard to get it to turn. However if you're sitting still even the slightest bump, you're all over the place. Not so bad if your just doing dirt work but if you've got pallet forks or anything along those lines on very difficult. Thank you I would be very interested in looking at that.
Well clearly a machine issue. Shoot me your email and i can send you the service manual.
