    I recently purchased a used bobcat b950 breaker. it works for about 10 minutes, then gets hot and stops working. the hydraulic fittings are hot to the touch. after hours of cooling down, it will work again. anyone else have this issue ?

    Have you checked the charge in the nitrogen bladder? Major cause of overheating is hydraulic hoses not sized to unit, or hydraulic flow not high enough.

    Could be too much back pressure too. Are you sure the machine is set to hammer? One of the lines should be a free return to the tank.

    I have not checked the nitrogen level, the guy I bought it from works for bobcat and said he charged it. I replaced one hose yesterday. The machine was on high flow.

    What machine are you using it on?

    Might have to upsize your hoses or at least the quick connects.

    You are right, they don't recharged it, they say we need to inspect first and that is costing me extra money. i have nitrogen all i need to get the nitrogen kit, but the problem is that my breaker is very old and i don't know what kind of a nitrogen kit i should get. i am attaching the pictures can you please tel l me which type of a nitrogen kit will be needed and from where i can buy it. thank you
