My handiest, most useful tractor is also my most problematic. I had to use high a tech leak detector, cardboard. I'm trying to train the terramite not to pee on the pole barn floor. Use cardboard to find leaks and keep floor clean. I had two remove 2 cylinders to see the hydraulic hose that rubbed against the cylinder and started leaking.
So I'm off to a place in town that costom makes hydraulic hoses to exact length. They also sell a sleeve to put over hose to prevent this from happening again.
This tractor is very prone to peeing on the floor. It has 9 hydraulic cylinders. 18 hoses to cylinders plus more. If this tractor isn't leaking oil today just wait until tomorrow.
This terramite is 17 years old. Other one is 20. It's the one I rebuilt the Dana rear end. It developed a peeing problem. I thought the worst, rear end leaking.. instead It was hydraulic hoses above the axle started leaking from old age. Sounds like an old man's problem, hose leaking.
If I'm not rebuilding cylinders I'm replacing hoses.
So what's your handiest tractor? What's your most problematic? My terramite answers both questions. Will my Kubota replace them? No, even though Kubota's hydraulics is superior. If Kubota were to clone the terramite I would by the clone in a heartbeat
