When I went to the JD dealership to get hydraulic fluid for my 870 they said I could buy the JD Hygard or the generic stuff in the blue bucket. I went with the generic blue bucket, plus whatever I had on my shelf from 20 plus years ago. That would be another bucket of generic fluid and a small quantity of Hyguard. I supposedly needed 5 gallons and used closer to 7 gallons.
On my tractor the pump is up by the front of the engine. i think it is gear driven. My tractor has power steerng and I am pretty sure it works off the same pump and the loader.
I would fill that up right to the top of the dipstick line just to see if the problem goes away. Maybe inspect the screen and filter. Make sure the supply hoses leading to the pump have no kinks.
