NH TC30
I have had this TC30 for over 4 years now with no problems, but today the hydraulics started to give me problems, the rear lift will not lift at idle and at higher rpms will be very jerky and slow, same goes for the loader.

Two weeks ago I replaced the Hyd filter and added to the fluid. everything was working fine until today. I checked the fluid level, the fluid was very foamy so it was hard to get a good reading on the fluid level.

Any ideas out there???

Thanks

Sounds to me like it might be low on fluid. Low fluid levels allow air to get in the system which will cause foaming in the fluid. Check the fluid level at the beginning of the day or before starting the tractor. The foam will be settled then and let you get a good reading.

Edit: By the way Welcome to TBN.....

George,

thanks for the reply, that was my first thought, low fluid level, I will check before starting.

Was that a suction filter or a return filter.

Could have a suction leak at the hose or pump IN port, or at the filter, if suction filter.

OK Thanks for all the help.
What I found was a major leak. after toping off the fluid.
There is a rubber hose connector on the supply line to the hydraulic pump that had been damaged when I ran over a small uprooted tree.
reconnected it and put a new clamp,
All is good now.

Thanks again,
