Running tractor without loader cylinder

[hotbam37]

The tractor is a year old. You may wish to see if the part is on warranty. That could save a dollar or two. You may not be able to remove the loader as Lou suggested. Many require you to be able to manipulate them with the hydraulics while you are removing them. Check the owners' manual for info. By all means cap the lines. The tractor can certainly be used for mowing with or without the loader. Just be sure it doesn't drag.

You know I haven't even thought about checking on a warranty. I'm going to look into that today. I really appreciate the help.

Edit: That was a really good idea, I just called the dealership and they said they are going to try and cover it with the warranty since it is still new and is a part that doesn't normally break like that. I'm going to take the cylinder off and bring it to them. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks
