Problem with unit hopping or have a chatter when beginning to dig

[antfarmer2]

I think I would check the shock absorbers on your steering linkage. If you lift the cab you should see a couple shocks that are attached to the steering linkage. On my T200 they were bad and I would get the same chatter when digging. New shocks took care of the problem. If I remember right, Bobcat has a kit to install 2 shocks on each linkage (4 total).

Have you checked the drive belt and tensioner
