When I was driving my L3400 HST back to the barn a couple of weeks ago, it the power steering was starting to work intermitently. When doing the final parking, it seemed the hydro for both the loader and the 3 points was chattering. To me, I had noticed some seepage by the loader hydro block, so I suspected the fluid was low. I did not see any fluid in the window. I went and got some Kubota hydro fluid and added a gallon (looking at the level window periodically for the level). Nothing in the window. I then added another gallon, doing the same. Still nothing in the window. I decided to fire it up. After a few minutes of warm up, the steering, loader and 3 pt were still hesitant / chattering. Transmission to move forward seemed to work fine. I shut it off, and right above my right foot, a bunch of fluid spewed out. Seemed like hydro. wonder if I had overfilled it. tried it again. Still no goon the steering and the loader/ 3 pt. When I shut it off, more fluid burped out.
And idea as to what is wrong here? Still under warranty - I can give my dealer a call tomorrow if anyone is in, or else on Monday.
thanks much for any thoughts, Gary
