MF hydraulic lift

On my MF 135 with 750 hours, does anyone know why, on occasion, the lift does not work until I drive the tractor for a short period of time. This occurs rarely.

I'm not sure where you are with your maintenance program, but that sort of problem would be a good excuse to remove, check, and clean the suction screen on the lift pump. It doesn't come out the bottom like it does on the 200 series, but can be reached through the side cover holes.
