Bud, that does not seem right. I have not noticed mine doing that, but will check it after while. Might want to call Gerald at TYM and talk to him. Phone # I have for him is 252 293 1224(from web site). He said he tends to work on warranty business in the mornings, and returns calls in the afternoon.

Thanks. I probably need a new pump also. I will let Cabelas handle it. Only have 16 hours on it.

I just got back in from using the tractor, and it is still not working correctly. In fact I think it is worse now than before. Now when sitting STILL it is very hard to turn the wheel. Plan to go see the dealer this afternoon...

Let us know what they find out. Did they put a new steering pump on it? Did the change the filter? How many hours on it now?

I went to the dealer this afternoon and got on 2 brand new tractors, and they both did the same thing mine is doing (hard to turn while sitting still). Must be the way they are suppose to be, but still does not seem right... Dealer said the steering pump was changed, but don't know about the filter. Have about 2 hours since the dash panel and pump was changed, and about 30 hours on the tractor... Just guessing on the hours since the panel was black, but the last time I could see the hours it was showing about 25, and then I used it some after the panel went black... The new panel looks good and bright. Hope the new design holds up.. Let me know what you find out...

Well if the steering is normal I will have to live with it. It does have big front tires. I am going to see if they will change out the pump anyway. I have a Kubtoa L35 and it with a full bucket of dirt siting still I can turn the wheel lock to lock with no effort. Also I am not satisfied with the lift capacity of the loader. Seems weak for a 46 HP tractor. Did the new display panel set your hour meter back to O hours?

I agree, Bud. The wheel should be able to be turned without any effort. My lift capacity seems fine to me, but this is my first tractor with a loader, so don't have anything to compare it to. The new display was setback to 0. I read somewhere (don't know which tractor that was being discussed ) but it was on this site, that there was an adjustment that could be changed to increase lift capacity. Don't know if ours had this setup or not. Good luck......

My dash panel is giving trouble also. Started from the first time I used it. Cableas is going to replace it as soon as I get it to them. I also noticed that when the loader bucket is full the wheels are hard to turn unless the tractor is moving.

Did you get your tractor fixed yet?
