Dont know if any the case mechanics can help. The 580M 2 I run is having problems with the steering. Compared to SL's, SM's and deeres the machine sucks with any weight on the front. Anything heavy hanging off the front the wheels wont turn unless moving. I know this is typical though of alot of machines.
The problem is, now full bucket of sand or gravel is enough to lock the wheels up. Not moving I get about a 1/4 turn of the steering wheel and thats it. Normally no problem what so ever. Somethings not right. The tires have plenty of air in them, the steering piston doesnt have any leaks, plenty of fluid in the tank.
Any idea's? Its getting to be a pain in the rear in tight spots.
