Hi everyone, new user. I've used the search function and checked way back on threads but haven't come across my problem yet. Here's what I got, bobcat 873 with 5,300hrs if the meter is correct. I do not have a manual for it. Boom and tilt work fine. But when I use the front auxiliary hookup for the brush cutter or auger attachments, I get 20seconds of movement. Then it slows down to a complete stop. If I let it sit 10mins or so it will come back. But then 20secs again. I've checked to make sure my hoses are hooked up correctly, checked the fluid level. It has a slow leak, but doesn't seem to be coming from front aux lines. On the BICS module the valve light continually blinks (I don't know if that's normal or not). I'm not well versed working on hydraulic problems. But I'm assuming it's gonna come down to an electric solenoid sticking on the valve body. Just hoping for a push in the right direction. Thanks guys.
