Why does my mini excavator feel like it is moving backwards?
Pushing the levers away from you (forward) will move the tracks forward but if you have rotated the cab it will feel like you are traveling backwards. This can cause an unexpected side effect. If you try to move forward and the machine moves back your inertia will tend to make you lean forward, pushing the controls harder.

The accumulator may also be faulty. You can test pilot pressure with a 1000 psi gauge, on the G1 test port on the accumulator manifold, and should only have up to 435 psi when you deadhead the blade lift.
