it is being stored outside for now bought another house last yr great deal but no garage. part of the reason i bought a new tractor is to finish the spot where im building it did the rough stuff with a fermac 760 i borrowed from a friend for a yr im new to the hydro i have gotten alot of good advise here from alot of people i own a trucking company and know my way around diesels i have had alot of mitsus and thats why i went with the mahindra that and it just seemed to be built tougher that the others in its class 5yr warranty didnt hurt either once some of this snow melts i think i will add some fluid and run it for a couple hrs with any luck things will loosen up it has just over an hr on it at this point but it did sit outside for a cpl yrs from what i can figure

If it sat outside on a dealers lot for a couple of years, is there any chance moisture got into the hydraulic system? Goes back to my earlier comment about just what is in the hyd. lines, etc. Also, if your dealer has another HST model on his lot - a more recent one - you might ask to test drive it for comparison. If it acts and sounds about like yours, you know it's normal for your machine, but if the other one is much quieter, it would confirm there's a problem with yours.

I would expect the pedal to come back up instantly, same as a brake or clutch pedal would.
the others i tried still came up kinda slow still just not as slow as mine ithe others seemed to spap right back for the first inch or so then went slow mine is slow right from the start and creeps for a sec the dealer ordered a new spring as soon as it warms up a little i will try some of the things people on this site have suggested i have gotten a lot of feedback on this and i appreciate all of it.its my first hydro and really didnt know what to expect but have gotten educated for example i didnt know that it is normal for hydros to whine. still wondering if anyone has switched to synthetic oil and noticed a big difference in the whining sound?

Hydro pedals don't center instantly, It takes about a second or so. so count "one-thousand one" maybe just a hair longer. But you said 5 seconds, and that just ain't working right.

Mine actually stick. If I'm going forward, I've got to hit the reverse pedal to get it to stop. I've tried 3 different types of grease(can't remember which ones offhand), and nothing helps for more than about an hour os so. I'm going to tear mine apart this summer and fix this problem once and for all:thumbsup:
