My 2000 JD 4300 HST started losing power steering this weekend. It was underpowered at all engine RPM and got worse as I used it. In addition, the 3 point would not function reliably - it would sometimes not lift at all, at other times it would lift slowly and very noisily. Seemed to be in sync with steering trouble.
I was using bush hog when I first noticed issues and had difficulty getting the PTO to disengage. Eventually had to man-handle the engagement lever. After a few minutes of engine off time - the steering and 3 point would partially work but very quickly degrade to unusable again.
Didn't notice any problem with the hydraulic drive though. Any ideas?
