[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 1993, member: 82"] Is this machine hydrostatic? i would guess it would be. Has it always done this? if not, you may have the wrong oil in it, it may require a lighter oil. Does it make any horrible noises while you try to get it to move? as on some older bobcats there was a suction line filter for the hydrostatic pump that you didn't know was there unless told. These cloged up and caused little to no power like you said. As the oil warms up it gets thinner and it may be getting past the filter easier. If the filter hasn't been changed by you, change it! then you will need to try and find out if it indeed does have a suction line filter on the hydrostatic pump. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
