Was up clearing brush in the back of the land and I sprung a big leak around the 3rd function valve. Fluid spraying everywhere so much I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, it's obviously under a lot of pressure. Got it back down to the garage and after cleaning it up I still can't figure out where it is leaking.
So a couple questions:
1) as long as I am not engaging the 3rd function (grapple in this case) I don't think the leak should be coming from the hoses going to the grapple since those shouldn't be under this much pressure, correct?
2) If I am correct on #1, can I just run the 3rd function without the grapple hoses connected so I can see around the valve and the main hydraulic hoses better?
I believe I must have a small pinhole in one of the main hoses but I need to figure out which one.
