Straight 30 is recommended. The boom is slow even in 70 degree weather. Will check the pressures when it gets a little warmer.

That is the plan. Will also plug a gauge in one of the lift cylinder hoses. The pump is high flow and the machine acts as is a regulator is bypassing. Symptoms should be reversed if the pump was bad.

The oil was just replaced with 30 weight and is full. Until the machine has worked for 15-20 minutes it will not pick up a bucket of dirt. Lift capacity also is reduced without full throttle. Aux hydraulic pressure appears normal, but has not been checked. When I say low boom speed, about 15 to...

My L230 is very slow in lift and tilt. Max lift is also compromised. Much worse when the machine is cold, and improves when warmed. It is a mechanical hand and foot machine. Thoughts?

The only problem is that you must take the turbo, air cleaner and muffler off to get the valve cover off. Not user friendly! I will attempt to get the tools this weekend (takes a special tool to hold injector while loosening injector line) and remove the injectors, not the pumps, and get them...

This is a Deere ifs with each cylinder having its own pump and injector under the valve cover. Trying to not buy 4 $450 ifs units and $500 worth of tools to time them. engine also has zero blowby, but is using oil.

My 320 stars easily and runs great until warm. It then drops a cylinder when warm or after about 5 minutes. Shut it off, cool to ambient temperature and runs great until warm. New transfer pump and return check valve /regulator. Cannot identify the cylinder as it must be warm to loose cylinder...
