Any idea what could cause slow hydraulics? All hydraulics are slow. Tilt, Side shift, Lift and even when Lowering.

I checked the pressure on the delivery hose connector, and it is correct based on manual, at 2,500 psi. I also drained all the hydraulic oil, and filled it in with new 10 gallons. The old oil was dirty and dark red, please see second picture.

One of the possible symptoms is if it manifests itself to a significant extent when the oil is cold, there may be a disturbance in its flow (saturated filter, foreign body in the intake line - part of the valve, damaged O-ring... and the like), mechanical impurities or disturbed controls. It is also important whether the problem arose increasing intensity or at the moment... Do the pressure check at min. 60 degrees Celsius

Fact of the week
Since February 2016, it has been against the law for grocery stores and supermarkets in France to throw away unsold or expired food which is still edible. Instead, it must be donated to food banks or composted.
