Hello Forum,
I have a 2006 Kobelco 35sr-3 with 1440 hrs on it. As the title states when i am working the machine several hours the hydraulics seem to get slower and weaker. Its not to the point were I cant continue but its definitely noticeable. I only have the machine a year and probably put about 100 hours on it, cant say for sure if it was like it all along or not since I've only done a few jobs that require me to be working the machine in excess of 3 or 4 hours without stopping. Most of my jobs are either shorter or require periodic stops. I think the issue is related to heat but I dont see a temp gauge on the hydraulics, the engine temp remains normal according to the gauge on it. Also, all functions seem to slow or weaken once this happens. Could this be a deteriorated fluid problem of some sort, dont really know when it was changed last. Any help would be appreciated.
