Hi, I have a H25T with failing hydraulics. I have just carried out the following:
1.) Side-shift hydraulic cylinder - new seals (works fine)
2.) Joystick (1 of 2) right-hand side... side-shift control (works fine)

Lifts and tilts, but doesn't hold. The tilt is the worst as all hydraulic pressure dissipates almost immediately. Hydraulic oil level seems to be good and stable and there doesn't seem to be any sign of leaking oil.

The tilt pressure was failing prior to the above-mentioned repairs, and presumed to be related to the leaking side-shift cylinder (which was severe).

Could the problem be related to the new (after-market) joystick, or do I need to bleed the hydraulic system? Any advice would be much appreciated.
