I don't know much about its past since I bought it at auction. What I do know is when I bought it had a bad hydraulic leak (turned out to be the filter seal was out of place). I replaced it and the leak was gone so I drove it slowly off the trailer. Once on the ground I added some hydraulic oil (a Kubota brand hydrostatic trans / hydraulic oil) to get the level back up to the dip stick low mark. I filled it through the dipstick hole since it was about an inch in diameter and I could get a funnel in there. Now it doesn't leak but also doesn't seem to work well. I drove it off the trailer and that's about as far as it went really. What I've found is if I start it and keep the engine at idle things kind of work, it moves (moves a noise like the pumo is working hard, like it would at the end of a cylinder range), the bucket goes up slowly and the pivots slowly, but if I turn up the RPM's it stops moving and stops operating the bucket. As you can tell I'm pretty new to the Skid Steer world so I'm not sure where to go next with this issue. Any advice about things I could check would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
