Loader FEL leak down

[Richard R.]

I have a 5035 that is one year old. about a week ago Iwas bringing a golf cart home using the pallet forks. I was carring it about 2000'. after moving about 300' feet I noticed the FEL was leaking down. once I moved it back to full tilt I watched it and had to tilt it back several times before gitting the golf cart back to the barn for repair. I know the manual states that there is normal leak down but I have not noticed it while it's running. is this normal,
How much leakdown is normal and should it leak while it's running.

Running or not has nothing to do with if there is leak down or not. Your loader owners manual should list out how much is considered acceptable. That will tell you if you need to contact your dealer or not.

Thanks,
After reading the chart in the manual and checking the leakdown on the FEL. I found that it is within limits.
