What was wrong with the loader?

What was wrong with the loader?

Had a hydraulic oil temp sensor that was giving a faulty low oil temp. Due to that it was limiting the machines rpms as if it were cold.

Took advantage of another warm day here to get the last of the muck and water out of the deepest part of the pond. Brought in some good clay and walked it in with the loader. Should have a solid seal here now where I dug through a lot of rock. Also ordered a bar gard today for the inlet pipe. Bottom of pipe now sits about 30-36 inches above the bottom of the pond.

That picture knowing the height to the bottom of the pipe really shows the size of the dam! :thumbsup:

Here's a pic looking straight on with the loader on top for reference. Moved a lot more dirt than I ever planned at the start of this project.
