[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 127329, member: 13825"] OK so according to BOBCAT< and see link below) the spec's on your machine say it was designed to only lift 1300 lbs, so asking it to lift 2000 lbs is, going beyond what it was designed to do SO?? that sort of answers your one question as to why it won't lift a Ton!, which is 700 lbs past what it was designed to lift! next, as for your leak down, remember this is a machine that is 30+ yrs old, ((made from 1980' to 1990) so, age , has a way of effecting systems and cause faster leak downs than when new, which IMO< explains the other question you have! it just older and things ain;t working as they did when new, but even NEW all systems will again leak down , they were not designed with sets to prevent that from happening over time they will slowly bled down, a very FAST bleed own could me something is wore beyond spec, and be a cause, but its normal IMO< for older machines to bleed down fairly fast , as in a few hours or so, some do so even faster , Others may have other info or thoughts or idea's to add, but that is my take on things, hope it helps> and here is a link to spec's on your machine for you to see things [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bobcat.com/na/en/equipment/loaders/skid-steer-loaders/non-current-models/743[/URL] [/QUOTE]
