I have a Bomag 100 AD that will randomly stop traveling after about 10 minutes of solid use. It only has about 1,000 hours on it. The drums continue to vibrate and the parking brake light does not come on.. help??

Does it stop immediately like the brake is applied when it happens? Does it sound like it wants to drive against the brake? The travel linkage is not worn or loose?

I have a similar problem with a bomag ad3 , when hot , 20-30mins or so it’s almost like it looses pressure on the oil , if you vibrate yourself into a rut it won’t pull itself out of it , any uphill resistance against the machine driving will stop it suddenly ,

Both forward and reverse? Has charge pressure been checked?
Yes both forward and reverse . Pressure was checked as far as I am aware , bad memory now , brakes checked too , once it cools down it will run ok again until warm ! Sorry about the extremely late reply !!! I couldn’t remember my log in info

Did you get it fixed?

If not, what was charge pressure cold and working vs hot and not working?
