At the beginning of the summer, noticing slow lift and dragging of the loader, I drained the fluid, pulled the screen, (which was clean), and refilled the box to the correct level.
Things seemed to work pretty good. Then the tractor sat much of the summer after a few mowing jobs due to drought.
Now, I'm having lift issues again - surely the fluid can't be dirty after only a few hours - I ran it hundreds of hours before even checking it the first time and the filter was perfectly clean.
The lift is slow even without a load. I took the mower off.
There appears to be pressure in the line. When I crack open the oil lid it hisses. FE Loader lifts just fine.
What else could it be?
