Brand new XJ2025h and already have a cut hose and hyd leaks?????

[antlers125]

No grease fittings & most guys are using Travelers premium hyd. fluid from Tractor Supply.

once I get my new one on im putting that flexable plastic wire loom over the hose where it touches the frame...The larger New Hollands don't have all these hoses this long...much nicer neater system.......


Hey guys, I don't see any grease fitting on the tractor itself, is this right ???

Also what tranny fluid are you guys using

I don't think I can move mine to the inside...the quick release from the other hose will hit the fitting..

Disregard the advice I suggested about wrapping your lines & do just as BLUE ME suggested. Just move the top hose to the inside (closest to the hood) & move the loader valve to the most upright position. Bending the floor pan isn't necessary. Like he stated, also gives you more room to enter from the right. 2 for 1.

Blue, did you re-use the banjo bolt washers ??? Or if not where did you buy replacements ?

When I first got my tractor I repositioned my fel control and moved my hoses to do so.
I put a tie around hoses and bent floor pan to give me more clearance.

I just unbolted, repositioned and retightened.

Pictures aren't showing up for me. Anyone else having the same thing?

where hoses ride metal edges, I usually ziptie some sort of shield to the hose. IE.. a piece of radiator/heater hose as a sheath, etc.

Here is a couple more photos under a different format.

Seeing this is preventable by repositioning the control. Does anyone know the extent of assembling tractors is the responsibility of the dealerships? And how much information Manufacturers supply?

I don't know what the current standards are, but back in the day when I was a heavy equipment tech at both a John Deere Construction Equipment and Fiat Allis Dealers, this is the sort of thing we were expected to check and correct on a delivery prep. Can't tell you how many hose rubs and loose hose clamps I fixed. We always checked hydraulic pressure as part of the prep also.

So, based on my experience, I'd call it a dealer prep issue, since they were the last ones touching the machine before delivery.
