Posted by stuart on Tuesday, February 19, 2008:

I have a farmhand loader on the tractor and this winter the hydraulics have been very sluggish and unresponsive. When the tracton is first started up, the loader controls won't move, I've noticed that the 3 point hitch and the remotes are sluggish as well.

We put a quart of methyl hydrate in the resevoir and it seemed to help for a while, but the problem is a persistent one.

It really isn't all that cold, 5 or 10 farenheit.
Any suggestions
