We have don't seem to max out the hydraulics as it seems to have more hyd power than the machine weighs, meaning it will continue lifting until it is on it's nose from to much weight in the bucket. These machines do have a series of V-belts that run the drive motors / pump. Maybe your belts are loose and squealing? If I remember right, I think you loosen the engine mount bolts and slide the engine back to tighten the belts. If it is in your hydraulics maybe you could turn up the relief pressure so it doesn't by pass to early (if that is what it's doing). I'm not sure how to do that on this machine but I wouldn't think it's to hard. The main relief should be on the control valve under the seat. As for it being small, don't let that fool you. I have a old bobcat 600 that is rated for more than your 2600, but the 2600 will out work the my 600 any day. Do you still have the Onan engine in it or has it been "re-powered" with something else. Ours needs a rebuild or different engine and we are not sure of the best route to go with it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
