Hey everyone,

I have a 1999 new holland LX885 skid steer. It wouldn't start and we needed to get it on a trailer. Someone used a telehandler to lift/drag it about 10 feet before thet could reposition and pick it up completely off the ground to load it on trailer

When he first started dragging it (partial weight picked up but wheels still dragging on ground) all the wheels were locked and sliding and suddenly they all 4 started turning as if was in neutral

I understand hydraulic motors to not have a neutral so wheels turning = bad

is this a bad problem and something is broken now or is there just a bypass valve that opened when the tires were dragging or what?

thanks in advance for any help
