17 Hours 4075r, It started making an odd sound. I needed to move 2000lb pallets of pellets and could not pick them up.

I guess your machine has a separate HST filter too? Odd noises when moving and lower hydraulic pressure, maybe the HST has been fed foamy oil too? Probably not a big deal for a little bit if you haven't been working it hard? I think the hst is most sensitive part to bad fluid, but I'm not a mechanic. There are a couple hydraulic pressure ports on a HST and I would ask them to take a reading on the charge pressure and high pressure relief, just to make sure the HST is fine, and maybe do a slippage and power test on a steep hill when you get it home. A new tractor shouldn't creep much at all with the hst in "neutral" in Low or Mid range on a steep hill with no brakes, and in mid range, the hst should push the tractor up a hill you are worried about going over backwards on.

So Kromc5 did you get your tractor back, mine is still at the dealer really need it, my x758 is taking up the slack lol! It's a shame you can't buy a tractor and depend on it.

The pallet is 48 inches; I only need to lift it to 48 1/2 to 49 inches.

And that's exactly the height where the loader has the lowest lift capacity.

So got the 4075R back yesterday, with the new rock shaft cylinder and piston, it is stiff. With nothing on the 3 point arms I have to stand on it to get them down. Tech said this is normal till broke in. We shall see. I put on the rotary cutter on and purposely left it up for 24 hours and it never dropped any, awesome. Will take it out today and check for the noise that Kromc5 described after the new front differential. Fingers crossed!

So after mowing for 3 hours and driving down the road, no noticable noise but the draft arms still won't go down without an implement on them. Annoying!

What are you doing with 2000 pallets of pellets?

We use a pellet stove for supplemental heat.

That does not make much sense; I would question the timeframe for breaking in. I sat in JD's on the lot with just a couple of hours, and they were functioning.

I agree Kromc5, would like to get in touch with John Deere. How did you contact JD CCMS or who did you contact for them to get back with you. Maybe John Deere can give them so training on this. Thanks John
