one issue i have had since the beginning on my 2840 is sluggish or non responsive hydraulics in cold temperatures, i have done all scheduled service at the right intervals. i am using a napa hydraulic fluid that my dealer told me to get. in 10 degree weather if i dont run the tractor 10 to 20 minutes i cant even turn the steering wheel and i have tried engaging the pto and had it stall the tractor. my thought is the fluid is not suitable for my temps, i dont care about the warm up time im concerned that i might damage my pump over time. what is everyone else running for fluid and with what results. my friend has a kubota and while he lets it war up in cold temps he says his hydraulics are good to go right from the engine firing.
