I've noticed the same with my 2004 963c.although I've only had it for two days it did make wonder what was causing it!!

We had the same low power problem with our C's as well. We had Cat come out and turn the horsepower up on them.

Yes you arent the only one with that problem I have that problem to my loader has no power it wilnot get a full bucket of dirt with out a lot of working the bucket. When you step on the pedals the motor revs up and when you step on the pedal all the way the oppisite track does not go into in reverse. The service guy at work told me you have to reset the presure on the pumps at a like 500 to 800 hours because after a while the pumps get more flow than presure so they need more presure than flow but my company has an retard as a shop foreman so they wont let him do that.

Actually most of the time a counter-rotating issue is simply adjusting the parameters of the steering system. Had the same C/R problem on the 73 a couple years ago. One side was able to be reset, the other side needed a new electronic switch which is a std. Cat actuator.

The 63C I was in last week had no shortage of power, getting a full bucket even with the quick attach was no problem. I know everyone rags on 63C's but the few I have tried weren't all that bad.
