HI all, new member here looking for help. i bought this tractor earlier this year and everything has been working great. i bought a 3pt auger for it and dug a dozen holes, used the BH for pulling out an broken down fence, used the FEL for moving gravel and mulch.
the tractor was parked for a month or so with just the FEL attached, and today after hooking the BH back up, i tried lifting the front of the tractor and it immediately dropped back down. ( within 3 seconds ) I lifted the back with the BH outriggers, and tried the FEL again but it didn't have any power to lift it at all! I figured it was low on oil, i can't really tell if the sight glass has oil in since the fluid is very clean, but i added maybe 2 quarts with a crappy little transfer pump. still the same thing happened.
i took the BH back off ( i'm getting good at it now) and tried again but the FEL still bled down within a couple seconds. no leaks anywhere at all, garage floor is dry as a bone. what should i look at doing?
also, i'm in NH and the temps have been around freezing for a couple weeks. machine has 960 hours on it.
thanks
james
