After about 75 minutes of use my B2400 intermittently becomes hard to turn left. It might even be harder to turn than if the engine was off. No problems going right and if I turn the wheel 60 degrees to the right after getting the left turn resistance and then try to go left again I have the usual hydraulic assist. It may then operate normally for a couple more left turns or it may not. Does not matter if I'm using 2WD, 4WD, BiSpeed turn, belly mower, rotary mower, FEL, rear blade, hot weather or cold weather. The issue first appeared at about 750 hours, and the tractor now has about 850 hours. My usual operating speed is 2000 rpm, except for field mowing with the rotary mower at 2600 rpm. Engine speed has no effect on the steering problem. All maintenance has been done according to the Kubota schedule, or more often, with Kubota filters and SuperUDT. Engine temperature is normal.
I've been searching for reports of similar problems, but I'm not finding anything. Can anyone suggest what I should be looking at to fix this?
