[QUOTE="Balin' Wire, post: 1266322, member: 16709"] Yes. Hyd fluid breakdown can cause problems but I doubt it after only 1250 hrs. I would suggest taking an oil sample and getting it analysed at a lab. If there is an SPL lab or heavy truck shop close, they can get it done for about $20. The sample will tell you a lot more than the condition of the oil. It will tell you what the particle load is and that will tell you if something in the hydraulic system is wearing out. Take the sample after the fluid is warm and while you're at it, look at the color and feel the texture. That can give you an initial indication. Don't mix fluids. The additives from one can react with the other and make a mess of the internals. Be careful of HOT fluid as it can burn you! Agree to work the PTO w/o the loader to see if it's something else.
