Hi all,<br>
I just bought a new B7800, it was delivered last Wednesday. Only put about 5 hours on it so far. In those 5 hours, I thought the HST sounded awfully noisy (squealing/whining), but being new to tractors, i didn't have any other experience to compare to. This morning I went to use the tractor and found the transmission would not engage unless I stepped REALLY hard on the petals. Even then, it sounded terrible and did not have the power it should. I inspected the transmission oil level (for the first time) and found it was basically dry! Then I discovered a small leak at one of the ports where the FEL hose attaches to the tractor...fluid leaks out whenever the FEL is lifted. Dealer was closed today, so i will have to talk to him tomorrow.<br>
<br>
I am very concerned! I am not sure how long I ran the tractor with such low transmission fluid. Could i have done any serious damage to the transmission due to the low fluid level. I think this has to be the fault of the dealer, because I have hardly even asked this tractor to work yet and this hydraulic port must have been leaking from the very beginning. <br>
<br>
Any advice for me before I talk to the dealer tomorrow?<br>
THanks.<br>
