  • JCB 8014 hydraulic power question

    Wonder if anyone could advise?
    a 2007 jcb 8014....1850 hours run
    On lifting the machine to rotate the tracks i drop the blade to the ground and lift the machine slightly then with the bucket a couple of metres forward lower it so as to lift fhe whole machine.......this is not readily acheivable unless the boom/dipper is reached quite far forward thus increasing the turning moment affectively

    my conclusion is this indicates wear in the hydraulic pump as i don’t think I’m seeing full power......
    would i be correct ?
    i feel i should be able to lift the machine readily with the dipper somewhat closer to the machine but there seems to be a lack of grunt

    thanks for any input
