I have a new Mahindra 4025 - it's a great tractor, I only have 19 hours on it. I noticed a strong smell of hydraulic fluid when using the loader, and further inspection revealed that the "lower loader" quick connect coupler was leaking. The coupler and 18" of the hose below it were wet with fluid. I NEVER actually see the fluid coming out anywhere, though. Is it a microscopic mist?

Today, an additional problem arose: the FEL won't lower all the way. It comes down to about 6" off the ground and stops like it hit something.

A mechanic will be out in a couple of days to look at it, but any guesses? Are these two problems related?

Unplug the QD's and inspect. and reconnect. If bad, just replace.
