Hello all. I recently purchased a chip truck and finally got to use it today. I've had the bed up and down fifty times working on various things, but today was the first time I tried dumping with a load of chips. It didn't go well! It wouldn't even try going up until we had pulled out almost half of the load. The cylinder is leaking a little (would this affect lifting power?) and I'm trying some Blue Devil in it before I shell out more money. It is a Rugby LR165 hoist, which should have plenty of umph to lift 9000 lbs.
Also, until I can get this fixed, what is the best tool for scooping out chips quickly?
Thank you!
