- JD300 Backhoe Loader
Hello, I recently purchased a JD300 backhoe/loader. First industrial heavy equipment I've purchased.
Issue is, when I need to start the backhoe, I need to pull the choke in and out and in and out and "pumping" the choke while turning the key for like 5 to 10 seconds to get it started.
Once started, it idles and revs up fine. But when I start to move or use the backhoe or loader, the engine slows down and stalls and dies. I can move forward and back only on the lowest gear, but even then the engine slows down a lot.
Separate question, do I need to use Hy-gard if I want to change out the hydraulic fluid or is there an equivalent replacement? I have TSC and rural king nearby. Thank you.
