Satoh Beaver 4x4
Hi,
I have a Satoh Beaver with a Blackhawk loader. The hydraulic hoses to the arm burst the other day so I purchased new hoses. I installed the new hoses and when I went to lift the bucket, not the height, but the tilt, the front right arm cylinder blew and the front part that has the ring holding the piston in broke out. Can this be repaired? Before the hose burst, there was a 4 wheel drive failure. Could these all be related? I assume that the person borrowing the tractor pushed too hard on the 4 wheel drive lever and bent the forks. With everything else, I haven't been able to open it up to look. Help and/or suggestions on either issue would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

Thanks
Danielle

There are shops repairing hydraulic cylinders. One could probably be built to replace yours if damaged beyond repair.

The link below should provide the manual for the Blackhawk loader as found on the S370D. The manufacturer graciously provided it to me earlier this year, sadly they do not have further materials on the loader.

Just checking back in. I've taken the cylinder to a couple shops and I guess it's beyond repair. I need to find a new cylinder and haven't been able to locate anything similar online. Do you happen to know of any? Thanks

You may wanna check the hoses to make sure they are not crossed (one cyl pushing, the other pulling?)

or a damaged/blocked/squashed hose/tubing connected to that fitting pictured can cause intensification when the cylinder is extended....causing BOOOOOM

Even after the cyl fix investigate why it blew
