HEllo, I have a JD 955 hydro trans, Recently hooked up my box blade and the tractor barely moves forward when 3 pt hitch is lifted. Engine is really straining. I have not used the 3 pt in quite a while. Everything else seems to work fine. Any help appreciated.

Hydraulic level is full, strain is only trying to move forward while box blade is lifted, the tractor barely crawls. I don't think the brakes are sticking, runs and moves great without the blade hooked up. I know the whole hydraulic system on these things are connected, do you think not using the 3 point hitch for a long time would hav anything to do with it? ....

When you say "when 3 pt hitch is lifted" does that mean all the way up or does it do it part way up to. The reason I ask is something could be out of adjustment and the 3 pt is going up to far and the hydraulic bypass relief valve is kicking in. ....

I'm having the same problem. Left brake is sticking and causing resistance while trying to move forward, but not while in reverse. It will restrict forward momentum until the engine will actually die from the strain. I've topped off the hydraulic fluid and no relief. ....
