What happens here
Next, inspect the hydraulic cylinders by checking the chrome rods for any pits, scratches, or scoring. Even a small imperfection can compromise the seals and lead to hydraulic leaks, which are costly to repair or replace. Then, check the bucket pins by physically wiggling them. Excessive looseness or visible wear in the pins indicates neglected maintenance, as these components are subject to high stress. These issues can compromise the safety and functionality of the bucket attachment.
Goal: Identify damage to hydraulic components and wear in connection points.
