hydraulice bleed off

[tjferns]

Hey everyone I have a bx 23 and had the backhoe off for awhile, put it back on the other day. It worked great but now I am losing hydraulic presure when I parked it. It never did this before. Or will this go away after while? Thanks

You are not really losing hyd pressure. The only pressure with the engine off is caused by the weight of the BH. Over time some hyd equipment will leak internally and the boom will rest on the ground. Wear and tear will cause this to happen faster. You can watch some hyd booms fall, and others take over night to fall. Some very old equipment will stay up for months , years. etc. Some of it may be related to quality control, or just lucky to have a tight hyd unit.

Mine leaks down it just took this long to get broken in in my opinion.

My hoe's bucket will be siting on the ground in about 24 hours if not run.
The out riggers take about 12 hours along with the loader.

It doesn't affect the operation at all.
