I have this 7 ton machine which is quiet old. Recently i have to rev the engine a lot to reverse it and sometimes it tends to "jump" or "jerk" along in reverse. Transmission oil and filter in good clean condition. Machine is fitted with a 4 cylinder Perkins and Hystamatic gearbox 2 speeds. Any ideas what the problem might be?

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
