I’ve been having a few issues ever since I changed my hydro fluid last fall. I was trying to do the right thing but maybe I should have left well enough alone since I now see Kubota extended the service interval.
Anyhow I had a devil of a time getting the fluid level correct and probably had it high for a short time after I changed it. Loader operation was erratic mainly in the “power down” mode.... I thought there might be an air bubble still working it’s way out.
Recently when moving snow, it’s seemed to me like the rear wheels are getting little or no power. The tractor will push forward but when I hit the berm one or the other front wheel will spin but neither rear wheel will. Picking up the front wheels with the loader the rear wheels do give some power. It just seems like it the front wheel(s) start to spin the rears disengage. I have chains on the rear but not the front.
I pulled the hydro dipstick and it is barely registering. Could this be the issue? Would a quart be too much to add?
I’m operating in about 15F weather. I normally plug in before starting and run at idle (10,000 rpm) 10-15 minutes before working it. Now in the manual I see it says to warm it up at 50% of “rated RPM”....what would that be?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice
