Update on 300CX Loader Problem

[Gizmo2]

Just for information, Dealer here only recommends the low viscosity. I don't think they even sell the Hy-Guard viscosity.

They sell both the Hy guard, and Low Viscocity Hy Guard. I just bought sone normal Hy guard last week for my gator...

Just an update for everyone. After putting about 8 hrs on the tractor, my jerky loader problem seems to have gone away.

The other day it was about 40 deg. and I had to clear snow that came off the metal roof on the shop, it worked fine. Today we had about 10" of snow and it is only 18, worked with no problem.

So I am going to continue using it and if it comes back I will take to the dealer. Otherwise when it hits the 50 hrs I am going to change to Low Vis Hygard.

scodemike, glad the issue went away, I hope it stays away.

I originally posted this problem a year ago. I just did my 50 hr. service and refilled with low vis hydraulic. Today I was out clearing 8" of snow, it was only 9 deg out, so good test. I had no problems with the caveatating issue of last year.

So I believe it had HyGard in it and not the low vis. Just wanted to let everyone know.

BTW, when I did the service I had minimal metal shavings in the filter or the screen. I guess that's good.
