Backhoe Hydraulic shudder

[cdaigle430]

Hi,
I noticed my backhoe shudders/stumble quite a bit when raising the boom and a little less on all other motions. My dealership will be coming to get it this week but I wanted to see if anyone else had this happen. It shudders/stumbles to the sound of the diesal engine, not suire how to better describe it.

Its usually air getting in the lines at the hyd pump suction side. That would affect your loader too tho. :confused3:

check your fluid reservoir level.

i have noticed that machines without fel or backhoe have the sight glass completely full, but with the loader, or especially the backhoe, the level drops quite a bit.

i have opted to fill mine to the top with both the loader and backhoe attached.

I had also noticed a shudder when my 2310 was under a load with the snowblower- just before warranty ran out, dealer came, picked it up, took to shop & checked it out thumbsup. Determination was that it was OK.

During some heavy work yesterday, I again noticed a strong shudder; I was carrying a fairly heavy stump with the bucket, backing up a steep incline in 4WD low range.... seemed to vibrate/shudder quite a bit. Still feels "not quite right" to me, but we'll see..... I'll check the fluid level again today.
