My 2012 262c cat skid steer drive joy stick, when I use it for a full minute without letting it drop in nuteural, the machine starts slowing down and eventually stops. Drop it in nuteural and things work fine for another minutes and then same thing. What's going on??

A Caterpillar Track Skid Steer 279C suddenly stopped moving, including the work tools, engine starts fine. It provides an error 2471-3 which ti my understanding is for the cab door switch, the with bypass was hook up, didn't work; the wires to the ECM do have continuity Advice on addressing this issue will be appreciated

The Parking Brake on my 2008 256C Skid Steer keeps coming on automatically -- preventing me from moving more than a few feet at a time. ( I had allowed the hydraulic fluid level to drop down below the "add line", -- and while the bucket and grapple continued to work, -- I assumed that was the cause of the Parking Brake problem. -- I just had enough Hydo Advance 10 fuild on hand to bring it up to the lower mark on the sight glass, but that hasn't solved the problem.) I can only move a few feet at a time -- although when the engine is reved-up it will move a little further before automatically setting again. Is it possible that a "code" may need to be reset ? -- and if so, how would I do that ? Any help would be appreciated.

They want you to go to the dealer for everything me and 2 other guys changed both tracks on a 287b in 4 hours and they wanted 9 thousand dollars to do it and the hydraulic lines start breaking when they get old so if you have to pay them 1000 dollars to change one every time one breaks you might as well buy a new machine with good lines😂
