Hydraulic oil question??? For CT225

[BobcatTR]

1st hydraulic change is 200 hrs, and filters. I just got a manual, I'm at 270.
Gonna get it done next.

I replaced my hydraulic fluid with the local farm store fluid. Not Tractor Supply, but a good regional chain. Immediately afterwards I got the "sticking pedal" problem. Not positive if the hydraulic fluid was to blame or if it was something I did during the fluid change. It isn't too severe, and goes away if I warm it up, but wish it I could make it go away. Curious if anyone else has had this happen and if they could get rid of it. CT235

HYD oil used in Bobcat tractors IS NOT standard HYD oil. Its transmission/differential fluid. Standard HYD oil will destroy your HST.

Thank you for that clarification!

Thx! And at 200 hrs. Thanks for that also. That will be next summer.

If I remember correctly it is every 200 hours.

It's only filters every 200h and fluid at 400h. Reference: Kioti CK25/27/30/35 Workshop Manual

I'm still running on original hyd oil and filters.
Gonna change real soon.
I already have the sticky pedal.
Don't believe it was your change that caused it!
I believe from reading elsewhere happens a lot!
A fix would be Great!
I've lubed the linkage etc. Still hasn't helped!

Owners with the sticking pedal/slow to return to neutral need to check a few things. With engine OFF dose the pedal return to neutral? If not lube may be the solution. Some tractors were having an issue with the return/dampener cylinder. A replacement upgrade is available. Old style has two bleed screws. Last incorrect hyd oil will cause the issue as well as brake chatter in some cases.

Does sound familiar. So much for memory.

Thx.. I hope even "I" can change out filters..

Me too!
One goes thru the seat plate.
Have to take off seat to unscrew filter.
Glad you said something, MoPops!
