No hydraulics

[Phil in ND]

I have a Kubota M7040 with hydraulic shuttle shift, rear blade on three point and factory loader. I plugged the tractor in to warm the engine. Started the engine, let it idle for twenty minutes, went to raise the rear blade, nothing, tried the loader with the same results, tried the shuttle shift and nothing happened. Tractor has 240 hrs full of hydraulic oil. Temperature was at 0 degrees. It worked fine when I parked it about a week ago. Any ideas?

just a wild guess...frozen moisture somewhere in the system...

Well I don't know if it was moisture or to cold to work, but I put a space heater under it for a couple of hours and it worked fine. Thank you /pine!

Oil moves slow at low temps, but it will flow. If nothing is moving, something froze, which means water. I'd get excited about finding & removing the water before it freezes somewhere it breaks something.
