hydraulics stalling engine

[Mustache]

Thank you everyone for your replies. I decided to get the tractor floated to the mechanic. The shop is usually not a parts seller, so I'm hopeful they will be able to figure it out.

Kenny, the blower auger is powered by a PTO shaft directly to the 540 PTO takeoff. Then I have 4 hydraulic lines that power chute rotation and deflection angle. Deflection is a short hydraulic cylinder and rotation is a hydraulic motor. Each put some strain on the hydraulics, but don't cause it to stall like loader work or mostly the PTO.

I do agree that something is causing a blockage, but I did not know how to debug this without hydraulics knowledge.

I will try to remember to post the outcome, I really hope its nothing too bad.

BTW, my first step was to replace hydraulic fluid and filter and it improved some, but not much.

Thanks again everyone!

Update: the dealer did everything to recreate the problem, but it just didn't happen for them. Thing is, the weather was a good 10 degrees Celsius warmer than when I had the issue.

However, I got my tractor back today and here is what I experienced. First off, in idle with the gear shift selector in the middle range, the tractor creeps now forward. It's not the forward/reverse selector I think, I have to try some more, but that is a new issue.

The bigger thing is, I wanted to hook on the front loader and it didn't work. The hoses all connected fine, but the left main lift cylinder didn't work at all and the right one only lifts, but not lowers. Now I'm not sure if its the loader or the valve at this point, I have to do some more research and talk to the dealer as well.

As always, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you!
