They are locked in place. The drive on the skidsteer remains to work fine. Engine doesn't overheat or anything. There is one fan that is over the radiator and the hydraulic oil cooler is mounted outside of that. The skidsteer is a 2001 so I am not sure if it has an electronic shutoff or anything like that. When you talk about pump cavitation, is there a way to purge the air out of the system, if so how? or where can I find that info. When you said pickup screen filter is that something in the hydraulic reservior tank(sorry for my ignorance)? Aux. Hyrd. on, how much of a lack of power would I see? I did notice that I was kind of limited on the load that I could lift and I kind of figured I would be able to lift more than what I am because it doesn't seem like 2200lbs. I have a 6' bucked and I can fill it about half to 3/4 full of stone and that is about it. I know my aux hydrs work but how can I tell or check if there is an issue with the relief valve. The relief valve is in the valve control assembly right?</p></blockquote><p></p>
