Have a Powerhouse pro mini skidsteer, it has no power to make a turn
like low pressure. any ideas. where to look up parts online

Does either side have power? I'm pretty sure skid steers use separate pumps per side. Is that the case here?

I am not familiar with your machine but I would start with the basics. I assume you've checked fluid level. Do both wheel motors appear weak and how are the other hydraulics functioning ( is it only the drive or is the FEL weak too)? A good place to start is to plumb a gauge into hyd. system and see if it is the pump. If you have good pressure, start looking for bypassing relief valves, worn wheel motors etc. I found a parts manual online, a service manual would be nice but parts diagrams can be very helpful in identifying exactly what part is what and location, etc. https://shop.morbark.com/documents/boxermanuals/Power House Prowler.pdf

Low power on both sides of the drive. Replaced one drive motor a few years ago. Lift capacity seems fine. Has 2 drive motors and a chain
from the front tires to the rear tires. Seems like a old machine from Home Depot they use to rent.

Thank you for your help, really appreciate it
Have a Blessed day
