I have a 2013 B2620 with 180 hours on it. Just recently I am noticing a feed back almost hesitation through the steering wheel. I turn the wheel and the steering wheel fights back and tries to turn the opposite way to the way I am turning. It almost feels as though there is air in the system. A side note I just had a front end loader added to the tractor, not sure if that could have allowed air into the hydraulic system. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give.

If a dealer did not install your loader, you need to get to one soon. Something is not correct.
Hydraulic systems on tractors are self bleeding.
Often one hydraulic pump will provide power to the power steering through a priority flow control valve as the steering is the most important function.
A special hydraulic block needs to be installed to provide power to your loader.

Check your fluid level, I had this happen when I added my backhoe, apparently there was an air pocket that worked it's way out and the fluid level was low (even after I had topped it off). Once the fluid was topped off again and the steering cycled a number of times it was ok. A little air in the steering system will let you know the fluid level is low real quick.

Believe turning the steering lock to lock a few times will get the air out
Thank you everyone for your responses. The FEL was installed by the dealer, I will give them a call and see what they have to say.
