Hello. Hopefully there are hydraulic guru’s here that can help.
My compact Kioti CK20HST suddenly lost power and speed in the loader and 3-point. Hydro drive and steering seem ok but it’s hard to say.
Engine runs normal.
I drained hydraulic fluid and changed the 2 filters (hydro drive has it’s own)
Fluid looked dark.
Hydraulics are better but far from normal.
I rigged up a pressure test gauge to the rear remote and psi definitely seems very low! 1500psi max?
Also seems to spike then slowly drops. I feel like that could suggest something?
Please give ideas? Is the pump shot? ($800!!!) Pressure relief valves stuck open? Other?
