Hi guys,
We have a 6230 premium which had been a great tractor however lately it has been foaming the hydraulic oil. This in turn causes the hydraulics to run rough and throws a code that says the hydraulic pressure is low. We had a local mechanic look at it and said the hydraulic pump is the problem. He also said it was a massive job to get it out in excess of $10k to fix. He also had me know the hydraulic pump is on the side of the transmission which I have mixed thoughts about.(anyone know where it is?)
I have read that it can be an intake issue letting air into the suction side of the pump. The pump still runs fairly strong( I won't run it as I think this may cause more damage).
Also note oil change and filters resulted in the same foaming after less than 1 minute run time
Thanks Shannon
