Hesitation in loader

[Jim in NH]

Hi folks,

I have a 4340 cab with a 102HL loader on it. While dumping the bucket, it goes about 1/2 way then stops for several seconds, even with the control lever held forward, then resumes dumping. This only seems to happen when the bucket has a heavy load in it, but not when it's empty.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks,
Jim

My rig's a 4341, not a 4340. Same question though.

I think you have some play in the cylinder pins and bushes, so that it hesitates on the dead point.
