EF3 earth force

[TIMMYIE]

I HAVE A EF3 EARTH FORCE THAT AFTER USING A LITTLE TIME
THE HYDRAULIC OIL GETS HOT AND THE TRACTOR STOPS.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS.
THANK YOU.

Those tend to have somewhat complex hydraulic systems.

If you don't have a service manual, that would be a start.

The manual will have test procedures for checking pressures. You will also need a pressure gauge and necessary fittings to perform the tests.

Have any changes been made to the hyd system? Valves replaced, accessories removed or added, linkage adjustments? If so that would be the first place to look.

Thank you so much.
Have a good night.

Along with what Steve said, what you describe is often an indication of pump or possibly seal wear.

Google and search hot oil in earth force ef3
