After working with tractor for about an hour a hissing sound starts from near the brake pedal. If you pump the brake pedal 3 or 4 times it goes away for a minute or two and then comes back. When the sound starts and you press the brake pedal it goes to the floor and after pumping it 3 times it only goes half way to the floor. Talked with dealer and they have not heard of the problem before.

Welcome to OTT
Sounds as if brake valve has an internal leak. Is hyd oil getting hot?

I use a laser thermometer. Ambient temp +100° is normal for oil temp in an operating tractor.
