Loader creeps down

Rcsask · Dec 21, 2022

Hi all I got about 9 hrs on My 2022 ck2610 se hst and tonight while cleaning snow I noticed that my loaded would creep down. I have no leaks I did just put on a rear blade with hydraulic tilt. And it's very cold -30deg c or -22 f. Any advise?

How fast is it going down?

On my MF1540, it will normally slowly leak down, and I just automatically bump it back up a bit.

It's pretty easy to see it go down with nothing in bucket. Also maybe 1 hr before this I had my forks on and was lifting up my rear blade and it heald it solid in the air. When I was moving the bucket and lifting with the joystick it almost stuck in the up and bucket dump area wonder if that is sticking or something broke inside?

Just a completely amateur WAG, here. But might you need to bleed trapped air out of the system?

No way it should be doing that this new. Bad cylinders or valves. Warranty claim.

It's very cold get the hydraulic oil good and warm by using your hydraulics slowly until they speed up . Then see if the drifting persists.

It happening even when the oil was warm. Going to try it again in a few days and check oil levels. After Christmas if still doing it and oil levels are good will definitely be calling dealer

Called dealer today and they said it's a known problem for the lift rams on the loader they start off solid then after a few hrs they start to creep. Kioti knows about and they rebuild the cylinders. Just incase anyone else has a the same issue.

Well, in 50 years of running tractors and construction tractors, ive never had one that DOESNT drop down on its own over time.

Yai agree but at 9 hrs they should not creep to the point where it's easily to see it drop.
