It only seems to do this after you try to work the machine under load, When it first starts up and even up to operating temp it moves around as it should but after you go try to move some dirt or what have you, the left side stops working for the most part. What its doing: The right side works like it should, but the left side joystick doesn't move the wheels until it is pushed all the way forward then the wheels engage and peel out/move at full speed. When it is malfunctioning sometimes when you move the left joystick to the rear, the machine want to move forwards slightly. I opened up the cab and all of the linkage looks good, both sides engage everything more or less the same. Has anyone else dealt with this issue before? This is my first skid steer so I don't even know where to begin to fix the issue. Any advice will really be appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
