I bought a T190 with about 1300 hrs. and Joystick controls. Everything works great except that when I use my tree puller it exerts a lot of lift, but not enough lift to pull the back of the tracks up off the ground, even without the counterweights. The previous owner says he didn't notice this issue and that it would lift enough to lift the back up.
-The hydraulic fluid is full, but is due for changing.
-There are no leaks.
-Lift and tilt respond quickly.
-I get 3300 PSI when measured at the auxiliary hydraulic connector.
-Hydrostatic drives seem strong.
-When I leave the bucket up off the ground with the engine off, it drops only about 3/4 inch per hour, even with an extra 350 lbs. in the bucket.
So, I appreciate any ideas on what is limiting the lift capacity?
