Deere 96 450g Machine is losing massive amount of hydraulic fluid. Will empty the tak in about 2 hrs running . Lots of the hoses have been replaced in the last year or so . The only obvious spot I can find is the spool for the blade control. the entire assembly is wet with fresh fluid, but cant really tell were it coming from exactly . The transmission fluid level remains constant. Any ideas? I would think a leak that big would be easy to find, but no real luck.
Pull the floor plate and see if you are losing fluid by the pump. You could lose a lot of fluid in the belly pan and not know it for a while.
