Loader Hydraulic Warm up

   / Hydraulic Warm up #21  
I am pretty new at Kubota ownership. Just wondering, should you run the tractor for a certain amount of time to warm up the hydraulic fluids. Thanks

Nope. I like to let it fast idle for a minute just to get the engine oil moving, then run it as normal unless it makes bad sounds, which is probably won't. Hydraulics don't care if the oil is a little thicker than usual - it's a little sluggish for the first couple of minutes, but it's better to warm it up while working it, IMHO.

I live in northern Minnesota which climate wise is referred to as the polar peninsula.

Colder than Mars, now that's funny! It does helps to keep the "riffraff" away right?:D

My owners manual gives specific warm up times based upon air temps. I start it, put it on high idle and let it warm up. I turn on the pto and stretch the FEL while I'm waiting and chugging that cup of joe I brought out with me. If its really cold - what the heck am I doing out anyhow - Joe meets Jack in my coffee cup.

Within 15-20 minutes we are both warm and ready to work.
