Just to cover all bases...are the hydraulic fluids full...is it due for a filter change...did you recently replace anything that could have allowed air into the system?

Good thought. We think alike!
As for the age of the filters and fluids, I just changed the hydraulic fluids and filters about 40 hours ago. In fact, I've now changed fluids and filters twice inside of 100 hours! That's because I got to experimenting and changed over to Kubota SUDT hyd. oil at the 250 hour service and then didn't care for the way it worked. So with less than 50 hours on that oil I went back to what my Kubota dealer uses: New Holland Multi-G 134. And new filters yet again!
I've always looked at the oil with interest. Now I think I might pull a sample every 100 hours or so and let it set in a beaker to see if it has any particulates. I can't see any, but who knows?
Thanks, rScotty
