Hi all, this is my first post and its a doozy. What could be building so much pressure that its blowing out my hydraulic filter? happened 2 years ago, changed the filter and refilled and was fine until this spring. Then in June it happened again, I put on a new filter and refilled the fluid started the tractor blew out in 10 seconds. I cleaned all of the relief valves and the wire mesh screen changed the filter again, refilled started was fine for 2 weeks and blew out again. I'm stumped and its starting to add up between filters and fluid. Tractor is about 20 years old is a BX 2230D. Would greatly apreciate some guidance.

Are you using Genuine Kubota Filters?
