Hi there, novice tractor owners of a Kubota L3130 here.
When we pulled our tractor out today, the front end loader hydraulics were loud when moving the bucket up/down. After pausing for a moment to look at it and deciding to pull it back inside to look at it further, the power steering went out. Next, the transmission would not move into forward or reverse. There are no obvious leaks of hydraulic/transmission fluid. The levels are slightly low (just below the lower line on dipstick). We did find a mouse nest in the engine, so maybe they chewed through something?
What should our next steps be to figure this out? Thank you in advance!
