Stumped by my excavator's hesitation on deep digs
Honestly, I was on a site last week digging for a basement. Every time I went deep, the excavator would pause for a second before responding. Tbh, it made the whole process way slower and less precise. Has anyone else seen this? I'm curious if it's a maintenance thing or just how some machines are.

HAVE you checked the hydraulic fluid? I used to blame it on old machines, but my buddy proved low fluid causes that WEIRD pause.

What about cold weather thickening the fluid?

Low fluid plus cold thickens it, which could make @the_blake's air-in-lines theory worse.
