I live in the northern part of the U.S.(about 30 miles from B.C.)in northcentral Washington state and the temperature is already showing signs of the upcoming winter (teens) and my Loader SCV stuck partially open in the up position while I was in my barn and just about took out one of my loft beams (with tons of hay overhead). I often make minor adjustments of the bucket from the side of the tractor when using the loader inside the barn cleaning horse stalls, however this occasion, the joystick or SCV felt very stiff and sticky in all positions. Is this a condition of the cold weather and the norm for such thin viscosity Hydro fluid or just the tractor and is there a remedy to resolve this condition? The SCV feels dramatically different in cooler weather. Should I run the tractor a bit to warm up the fluid and would this help?
