I posted recently about my power steering going out and finding that I had lost a couple of quarts of UDT via a hole in a hose. Got that fixed and everything seems fine.
However something happened today that I am starting to get concerned about. I bottomed out the brush hog on a mound of dirt and killed the tractor. I was on an incline backwards and after I restarted the tractor I could not raise the cutter nor the FEL. Seems like I was able to move the tractor (hydro). After less than a minute it all suddenly strarted working again.
I don't believe this is related to my having run the UDT low the other day because it has happened 2 or 3 other times in the last several months. I frankly can't remember the conditions of the other times it happened, but seems like I might have killed the tractor on those occassions also. Maybe it just takes a little time to get the pressures flowing after that happens?
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
