Started tearing out some old fence tonigh and my 5303 JD started giving me some trouble. The steering and the loader are real slow and jerky. I check the fluid level and it was good. I could rev up the engine and it the loader would move a little better but not much. I used it for maybe 15 minutes like that then parked it back in the barn. When I cut the tractor off I could hear air coming from somewhere near the back. I took the dip stick out where you check the hydraulic fluid at and there was a lot of pressure behind it and a lot of air came out. Any ideas? Iam thinking maybe it's sucking in air somewhere on the sucksion side? Or the filter could be plugged ??
