Another 1758 issue?

[Tea4me]

First off I'd like to say, love the tractor. Sure looks good and really enjoy playing with it.. BUT! Now at 36 hrs and after I done the full service, it still has the previous issues like weak loader lift and steering wheel lockage and now it will roll like it's in nutral when it's in gear. I'm lost here!

No leaks, new filters and new fluids at proper level. There was some small shavings in the tranny screen but thats normal for being new. Shop is super busy so I gotta wait a few weeks to get it in there. Dealer doesn't carry Permatran 2 but gave me NH brand multi g 134 and said that it's the same, it's what they use in the masseys and doesn't cause warranty issues.

What gives? Surely with me loading all tires isnt the cause of it rolling now! And btw, it'll roll on very small hills..

HELP!

Can you explain what you mean by rolling? Is this after you park, machine off, brakes on ...?

Yes sorry. Engine running and warmed up, in either of the lower 2 ranges with the brake off. Sensitivity turned to max, no heavy attachments and a hill just big enough that it would roll if you left in in nutral with no brakes. Btw I have to use brakes to stop even on flat ground.

Gear or Hydro?

However, it sounds perfectly normal...

1758 only comes in hydrostat. It's not normal.. hydros aren't supposed to freewheel on little hills or act like it's in nutral.. let alone with a 135 loader not able to lift 1k pounds.

So your Massey can't lift a load like this? I'd say your dealer needs to take action, I'd lean on them hard. I've owned 12 tractors and my 1758 is the best unit I have owned. Good luck.

It sounds to me like one or more things are seriously wrong with your unit. Here's the sort of thing I lift with my 1754 & DL135: 15' of 20" dia. just cut (fully wet) maple.

Can you post some videos showing the problems you're expEriencing?

BTW these tractors are spec'd for Permatran 3, not 2. Not sure if that was a typo in your post or not.

My bad and thanks for catching that about 3. I'll ask my much smarter wife about uploads because I have no clue with that stuff. Lastnight I tinkered around a bit and noticed I was able to lift a few heavier loads but still nowhere near what you guys do. Steering still locked up several times with an empty bucket and the freewheeling seems like it's a tad worse.

Thanks for the replies fellas!

Have you checked to make sure that your rear remote (if applicable) isn't engaged, robbing hydraulic flow? Just a shot
