Hydraulic issue cat 287c

Actual Question

Top Replies

It sounds like it could be an issue with the hydraulic fluid. Have you checked if it's at the correct level and if it needs to be changed?

I had a similar issue with my CAT 287C, and it turned out to be a clogged hydraulic filter. It's worth checking that.

Have you considered recalibrating the joystick with someone who has experience in this? Sometimes it's a calibration error that causes these problems.

Check the seals and cylinders, as any minor leak can cause this. I had a minor leak and fixing it resolved the jerky movements.
