He demonstrates the loader lifting a light truck fine, but shows the steering wheel unable to turn under even modest front loads (pallet forks around 300-400 lbs), even at higher RPM. Useful for XR4155 owners troubleshooting similar steering complaints; not a buying guide or full review.
Posted by an owner-operator venting frustration about his own tractor's unresolved dealer visit, so expect a one-sided, non-technical account rather than a balanced review.
No. The dealer already replaced the orbital valve on this XR4155, but the steering wheel still will not turn when pallet forks with modest weight are on the loader.
The owner says no, you won't be able to steer unless the tractor is moving, since even light pallet forks around 300-400 lbs lock up the steering wheel.
No. The owner raised RPM to 2,500 with pallet forks on the bucket and the steering wheel still would not turn.
The dealer told the owner another XR unit on their lot was tested and had the exact same problem, with the steering wheel spinning without turning the wheels.
