G2160 Hydraulic deck lift

[Bigd1961]

Has anyone had a problem with lifting the deck on their G2160 once it has warmed up? I've been having problems where I REALLY have to bring the rpms up to get it to lift, and then sometimes it doesn't want to work correctly. I have replaced the external filter, no help. I was told the fluid was changed before I bought it, but I'm wondering if maybe it has broken down and is getting to thin once warm.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Derrick

Forgot to say it has around 445hrs on it.

Oooh, another Kubota lawn tractor post /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have a 2 year old G2160 with about 130 hours on it. When I got it (new) I noticed that the deck didn't seem to want to lift. The dealer told me to always have the throttle revved up a little when raising the deck.
I can only hope I no longer have it when it has 445 hours on it if this is going to get worse.

I can raise my FEL or any attachment on my L3130 at idle, why would you need to run 1/4 - 1/2 throttle on a 21 horse lawn tractor to raise a deck /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
