Going up a steep slope in my new (to me) JD955

No news from the dealer yet. I would assume that the dealer will be able to reproduce the problem but, like I said before, it only happens after you've been using the tractor for some time. I guess I'm use to the car dealer which can never seem to reproduce any issues. Also, just to be clear, the tractor does not stall/bog down when trying to go up the hill, it just won't do it and you hear a loud hydrolaulic whine.

If the engine doesn't load down when the fluid is warm you might have tolerance issues. Hope that is not the case.

Well, quick update for you guys. I called the dealer this week and they said that they are waiting for the parts to come in. The person I talked to couldn't remember exactly what was bad, but he thought is was a pressure relief valve. I'll let you know after I hear back from them.
