[QUOTE="Mac, post: 14068, member: 1463"] I have a 443 which is the diesel cousin to your 440b. The bouncing when you turn could be because your arms are not on the safety bar to steady them. If you try to operate the machine without resting your arms on the safety bar any sudden movements can cause your arms to move further resulting in bouncing. As for your wheelie- these machines are very light in the front when they are not loaded. Backing up any steep grades or trailer ramps is imperative when empty or you will be looking at the sky and hoping a friend is near to weight the front and get it back to the ground. Take a look at my post about wheel bearings. I had a significant problem with them. Keep watch over yours so they don't get bad enough to score the axles. I have the service manual and parts book for these machines. Got them on e-bay and they are very handy when problems arise. [/QUOTE]
