New toy

[kojo]

the hydraulics did'nt give me much grief ,apart from a cracked pump housing.

What you use as hydraulic fluid? my owners manual says 10w-30 universal oil, but i think that is quite thick in winter and i cant understand why normal hydraylic fluid wouldn't work in belarus.
I think hydraylic fluid could be good for steering system too (i have newer model with orbitrol and cylinder what turns tierods, not old style booster.

Nice, and looks like a lot of tractor for the $$. Did the loader come with it? Seems like they've been marketing those here in the states for probably 20 or 25 years, but I don't remember ever seeing one in person.

Yes loader was included in price
I'm happy to my purchase, i bet this is better for me then some older brand name tractor by some amount of money

I run 10w30 in the steering system and hydr transmission fluid in the hydr system.

I put 32 hydraulic oil to it and now it feels like loader works faster.. had to use it quite lot, we got more snow on tuesday, i know it isn't much for some of you, but here something like 30" snow and more is coming on weekend.

I also put new batteries to it, i have started it only once with new batteries, damn that start was fast, just hitted key and it was running with all cylinders.

I think i have to change power steering oil too, power steering pump makes noise when cold, and it is hard to steer for first 10 minutes, and i dont have any idea what oil there is now and how old it is...
