It didn't happen fast just sort of over time. I will bet the amount of weight we put in that loader all the time didnt help. Weird thing was that they didn't bend evenly. We replaced one and then the other about 5 years later. Made it hell to level the mower and blade.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The relief valve won't let the hydraulic pressure exceed that limit regardless of where the load to be lifted is located. The N-series lift arms are simply a tad under designed for the loads the hydraulic system can lift. Prolonged lifting of a heavy implement on the rear will bend them just the same as prolonged lifting of heavy loads in a loader bucket. TOH   [Reply]  [No Email]
