While winching away mounds of hard maple from a recent storm, I had the hydraulics quit on me this afternoon. No bucket lift, no 3ph lift, nada, nothing zilch./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif Looked around and didn't see any telltale signs of massive fluid dumps. Was just about to call it a day and call the dealer in the morning when I noticed that I could see some of the ball bearings on one of the quick disconnects in the hydraulic lines to the loader. Sure enough, when I pushed it back in (with a satisfying click) and started the tractor back up all was well!

[let me qualify that "well"- I also managed to damage the canopy today by raising the winch too high /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif - that will teach me not to put off the stop I meant to put in the 3ph lever for just such reasons]
