    Elevation = rough start up..?

    Figured out how to upload video to this forum. Started my LS mid day yesterday, temperature about 48˙, elevation 3,000', 20 seconds on the glow plugs.

    MT125 bucket droop...

    Howdy... New guy here. Just bought a new LS MT125 from a local dealer a few weeks ago and have been putting it through it's paces. I have noticed the bucket will bleed off and droop constantly, machine running or not, loaded or not. No hydraulic fluid showing anywhere, cylinders are as they...
