Brand new MF1734E

[trackguru1970]

I just bought a 1734E, only has 24 hours on it. I am loving it so far, but yesterday I was doing some demolition with the backhoe, and noticed I now have a hydraulic leak....I don't feel like I was straining it too much, but I don't know. It's not any cylinder or hose I can see, But it origionates somewhere under the engine near the center of the tractor. I haven't had a chance to crawl under and explore yet, Just wondering if anyone has an Idea what I may be in for.

Thanks

Could be as simple as loose hydraulic filter if its hydrostatic drive... But then again if its like my 1715 the are quite few hydraulic hoses and fitting near center of tractor...

With new equipment, it’s a good idea to spend some time going around and just checking all fitting/connections and even filters to make sure everything is tight. Hopefully your issue is just something that needs tightening

Should do it every few years too. Can’t tell you how many pieces of my zero turn mower I’ve found over the years just walking around the yard.
