I'm new to the forum but have already realized this is the place to go for honest, straight forward answers to a new JD owners questions.
I have a 2320 with H130 FEL, 240A BH, and 54" MMM. The day after taking delivery I noticed there was no hydraulic fluid in the window. This was after sitting overnight. I went to the the dealer and they gave my 2 gal of fluid and explained, as I've now learned on this forum, that the implements weren't cycled thru enough to get all the air out of the lines. I added aprox 1 quart of fluid to bring the level half way up the window. This was great until I removed the FEL and BH, leaving just the MMM. Again, there was no fluid visible in the window. I added another pint or so. This worked great and the level remained stable for several hours of mowing. Today I put the FEL back on and the level fills the window and looks to be about 1 1/2 inches below the fill tube opening. I think it is now way over-filled. I've placed a call to the dealer and am waiting for the service manager to get back to me.
The purpose for this tractor and implements was to be able to quickly change between operations. Should I have to add/remove hydro fluid each time I add/remove FEL or BH?
What say you?
Thank you in advance for all the help.
