    2023 bobcat e55 thumb cylinder fitting

    So I must have snagged the thumb hose on a branch and ended up bending the fitting. It’s leaking now and I can’t use the thumb. Bobcat told me they would press a new fitting in for $1200. I feel like that is nuts and I’m not sure how they would even press a fitting in. Any insight on this...

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    I do “blow it out” but I guess I’m not doing it correctly? Maybe someone can give me a procedure or something because the stuff that is smoldering in mine is directly under the oil pan. Only way to get it out is to pull the access panel and reach in there to scoop out.

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    Update! Finally received my machine back from the dealer. Had to reach out to Deere directly to get anything done. Deere had them perform a bunch of tests and came to the conclusion the thermal bypass valve under the cab was getting stuck closed allowing hot fluid back into the tank. Replaced...

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    Called the dealer this morning and spoke to the service manager. Told him that it was still overheating even after going slow. He also said I should be able to go all day and not have an issue. I sent an email with photos of temps and suggestions from the responses here. He said he is going to...

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    Yeah I definitely can make it overheat. I was just looking to talk with you over the phone to run though everything that has gone on. And possible bounce some ideas off of you. With your knowledge I gather that you’re a tech yourself.

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    So another thing I had found is that I do not have 3/4 couplers. I have stock couplers on the machine. But I’m going to measure today to make sure. If anyone would like to help me brainstorm or just talk me off the ledge my number is 570-956-2081. I’m going to be working all day day, hopefully...

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    Little update that isn’t really great. Ran it today with a root rake grapple and saw 175 hydraulic temps and 195 coolant temps. I’m getting very frustrated.

    I appreciate the response. I will keep on them. I actually have a friend at another store (same company) reached out to him and he’s going to do some digging as well. Hopefully I can figure this out!

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    I also need to put tracks on it. They were pretty bad when I purchased it and I knew that but since I got it back they are about to break so I’m putting tracks on it tomorrow and I’m going to run it some. I’m just not sure how to go about talking to them about this.

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    I’m not really sure how to go about them fixing it when they think it’s operating as it should. I don’t have access to another mulcher or cutter. I may call Fecon to see what they think.

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    I guess I’m not sure what a normal operating temp for the hydraulics is. 200-210 may be normal? I watched the tech run it for an hour an it never hit the alarm. I did think he was going slow. I may have to do this trouble shooting on my own

    More so just watching temp come up and then stopping until it goes down. No overheat alarm since it’s been back from the dealer.

    2020 Deere 333g hydraulic oil overheating

    No he did not. He didn’t do anything else because he said it was working as it should. Said I was going to fast mulching therefore that’s why it was heating up quick
