That problem is weird, to say the least.
A bad relief valve can cause excessive heat. But at the same time, there should be a noticeable loss of performance in the hydraulic system.
Since the system itself is open center, there shouldn't be enough pressure to even push a damaged relief valve open.
I feel your pain, guys. The M4 is a significant sized tractor already. I did look at one a good year ago. I did like the layout and specially the sunroof option for loader work. Now I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger and kept the green tractor.
