I just purchased and 1835M and I feel like there is an issue with the hydraulics. I had a 1526 and when I called dealer to discuss the symptoms, the mechanic told me that the 1835 transmission would not be as smooth as the 1526 and referred to it as a Known Operating Condition.
When cold, everything works fine but after about 30-45 minutes of use, it feels like the hydro is slipping but I only notice this in reverse. There are times when I have the bucket full and it will barely move unless I smash the reverse peddle completely down. Yes, I am in low range. I have noticed this in 2wd and 4wd in both low and medium range. The other thing is at times, the steering seems to lock up until I get the wheels rolling. AT complete stop I will start to cut the wheels and the steering is completely locked. As soon as I start moving, it works fine. This condition is intermittent. The slipping in reverse, once it starts it will continue until I let the tractor cool for a bit but once the trans fluid seems to get sufficiently warmed up, it starts slipping again. I can't believe this is normal. With a full bucket, I would like to reverse slowly and carefully and not have to give it full speed. BTW, I am running at 2500 RPMs the entire time.
Due to supply issues, I had to go 2 hours away to get this unit. I have a dealer who is much closer but the selling dealer is strongly discouraging me taking it to another dealer. Said I would have to pay for the work and then send receipts to them to get reimbursed. This is a new unit. Had 1 hour when I purchased. My plan at this point is to return it to the selling dealer, drive it around their lot until it starts slipping and then have them drive it. If they tell me its normal then at least I can take it back home with me rather than making a second trip.
Curious if anyone else out there who has an 1835M can comment on these issues. Dou notice any change in the operation of the hydrostat between initial startup and 45 minutes into use? Ever noticed the steering lock up until you got the wheels rolling. I loved my 1526 and never experienced anything like what I am experiencing with the 1835M.
