Aux hold

[873 cowboy]

why is it that I can't start a new post about my 873 Aux hold problem with out this site saying that there is already a post when there isn't. My Aux hydraulic hold is not functioning properly effecting my auger and backhoe attachment. Any Ideas? I swooped out the 2 PWM solenoid and it did not fix the problem. Thanks in advance and I hope it's not a $1500 PWM controller. call me at 407 383 6620 if you can help this cowboy out.

Depending on what exactly it’s doing the cartridge the solenoid sits on is where I’d start.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry you're having a rough time of it. Never heard of the problem you're having. Can you get a screen grab of the message you see and post it here?

Ironically, you just started a new post about your "873 Aux hold problem." Whatever an 873 is... You really need to provide more information here. Brand and what kind of machine it is for starters.

It is a Bobcat 873. The Aux work for the grapples but the auger and back hoe needs constant flow and is acting up, I need help.

We sold ours about a decade ago but if I remember right there’s a second button up on the upper left corner post that you can get constant flow. Is there one that looks like a hydraulic gear pump? It’s been a very long time

So the paddle switch on the right joystick is what you are using to control the grapple, is this correct? The trigger switch on the same joystick will give constant flow. If this is what you are doing and it is acting up. I would check volts at the trigger switch first.
Check fuses under seat, sometimes just taking them out and putting them back in is all it takes. If it has the BICS system, good luck and I have no experience with them. I have heard some hair pulling stories trying to diagnose problems with them.
