I haven't changed the filter trying to get the dealer to fix the issue since it's done it virtually from day one. BUT now that you brought this up wouldn't, if it is the filter, affect all of the hydraulics? Thanks

It should but you never know. I would have done that first either way. Why don't you just take the cyl. off and have it tested

Didn't think to test the cylinder. If the dealer doesn't find what it is I'll try that. I don't really want to touch anything yet since it's supposed to be under warranty so he won't be able to say I did this.

I have the same tractor, if I use my bucket pallet forks, then load that with split firewood stacked on a pallet 4 ft high with wood and move that into the garage it will Max out the steering system. I try not to turn it unless I am moving. I figured it was a lot of friction on that cement so I haven't worried about it.

I would call that normal, probably no problem with that. That is a nice way to handle firewood.

My r4 tires are beet juice filled then I have a Tractor Supply box blade on the back. I have about an inch clearance under my garage door so when I have the wood on the front I have to lower it and push it to keep the ROPS low enough to get through.:laughing:
