hey, so my mf202, the 3pt hitch works great in warm weather, as well as up to around -10. If its cold out like -10 or above, the 3pt will work up and down a couple times then its stuck on the ground for the snowblower. It takes 30+ minutes of running before itll come back a nd work perfect until it gets cold again (next snowfall). tractor sits outside. It has new fluid in the transmission/hydraulic area. Did this since i got it few years back. I figure the pump needs to be redone or maybe the fluid is getting to thick for the pump till its warm.

Any ideas? im no pro tractor guy, so any tips and tricks how to check and where would be great. When the pump works its strong and great. i did notice in summer if i turn it off with hitch in air itll eventually after a day or 3 be on the ground. in winter it seems to stay in the air probably from the thick oil.

Could i be using wrong UTF thats too thick for winter?

thank you
