853 Questions

[GoodOlIowa]

Hi all, new to the forum and I have a few questions about my newly purchased 853. I hooked up the Harley rake last night, and the roller will operate with the auxiliary controls on the right joystick, but there doesn't seem to be any wires on the loader to hook up to control the angle. Also, the foward and reverse operations seem very jumpy, and it's hard to make smooth movements with the machine. And with both joysticks fully forward the machine turns slightly to the left. Any help with any of these issues would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Let me start by welcoming you to the forum!! I believe that there is a wiring kit available from Bobcat that will give you the electrical outlet for your attachment. As far as the jumpyness that you describe, this is a trait of the 853, with it's servo actuated contols. Many others have complained of the same thing. I am not sure you can do much about that. Maybe one of the Bocat tech's will chime in with some advice. HTH

you will need to check for wear in the bell cranks and cable ends. then give it a good adjustment per service manual. for the electrics add a fourteen pin harness kit
