Thank you!

I usually do not leave the forum so it took me awhile to find the MOM announcement on the TBN main page. :laughing:

No hat or stickers yet. I bought two TBN hats years and years ago. Mohammed even signed one. :thumbsup:

The trees in the photos are actually quite small. We have larger ones. There WAS a tree that has to be near 40+ inches across. A wind storm came through a few years ago and blew done that huge monster as well as a bunch of trees 24-36" in diameter. Hated to see them down and they are in deep woods I cannot access with the tractor without spending lots of time clearing a trail. That makes the wood peckers are happy I suppose.

The 4700 has been working well until the summer. I used the tractor to move some logs and I noticed the FEL was jerking. It was time for fluid, filters and coolant changes so I parked the tractor until I had time to work on it. Work Work was out of control and I worked most of the summer and early fall seven days a week. At least I have a job to work. Last weekend I finally got around to working ON the tractor. After changing the fluids and filters including the screen the shuddering is still in the hydraulics.

Thank goodness for TBN!

JJ in the hydraulic forum has given me some things to try that are simple and quick. Now it just needs to stop raining. It is supposed to rain for the next 3-4 days. My parents are in town and my dad was going to help split firewood but with the tractor not working he might escape doing some work.

Thanks,
Dan

I did have some shuddering with the hydraulics on my 4700 & had forgotten that. It only happened once in a while (for 3-4 days) and just "went away." I never found the cause but it did not last long and went away.

Could it be air in the system, and you would just have to purge by extending and contracting until you hit the "max", hold it there for a little bit... (Just guessing).

Now wait just a second ... I thought the Member of the Month had all the answers, not questions or problems?!?

I will try that along with checking all of the fittings. Kinda hard to believe it is the pump.
