Hi, first time on the site,apologies. Power steering is working fine when tractor starts, after it warms up (10 mins approx) it becomes very difficult to turn. I have tried what looks like relief valves on the side of the power unit, no luck, getting sore arms. Do i need a thicker fluid.Thanks

Welcome to TBN:D

What does the fluid look like? If it's white and milky then that could be your problem.

Being a little more descriptive, like what model and the hours you have will help us help you;)

Hi Kenny, thanks for the reply. the tractor is a Kobota L3602DT. It has a 4:1 bucket and is in good condition. It is unfortuanetly a grey market tractor , although this is its only problem. I assume there were a lot of hours on the clock as its been wound back. The fluid is its normal pinkish colour in the resovoir. Its a strange problem as even with the bucket full just after starting in the morning the steering is great, after 10 mins or so it goes bad.Thanks
