[QUOTE="Dameon, post: 130046, member: 10703"] I know this is a middle-weight mini-ex, but I've watched YouTube videos of the E26 working and I feel like mine is much weaker than what the videos show. One telltale sign is the left track motor/function. I can make a left turn like a mofo, but left turns are quite difficult. Another sign is that I can't tilt the machine by picking up the front using the boom. It doesn't seem to have enough power to lift. If I track forward slightly, while lifting with the boom, it can slowly raise it up. Another thing I've noticed is that it won't do much unless the motor is tach'd up pretty high. I usually operate at 2K+rpm, but I would expect it would have some functionality at a lower rpm albeit slower. How would I qualify my suspicions? I do suspect that something might be going on with the big divertor block that the two drive handles mount to because the left handle seems to flop a bit (front to back) while the right handle seems fairly tight. The track issues might be due to the left handle (and related internal valves) not fully opening. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions. [/QUOTE]
