Tractor Down! Can we find the problem..and fix it? 

“With a touch of common sense and a little bit of will power you can get anything done” next Stoney ridge t shirt? 🤣 another awesome video Josh

The kids and I loved that!!! So exciting that you got to meet Eustice!!!!!

Nice fix. Glad you were able to locate that leak so fast and easy.

Don't ya just love it when a simple hose replacement turns into an almost week long adventure?!? Been there... Done that... Good you got it working again!

It was great to meet you at Lynchburg Livestock Market. Hope your cattle expansion is going well!

Always something to fix no matter how big or small the farm! I'm digging into a couple things myself this weekend. God bless!

It does feel good to fix things yourself when you can. I had to fix my clothes dryer today and it works again.

Hey Josh thank you for the video and it looks like you got her done that's a good thing 👍

Way to save a boat load of money... Grew up spending the summers on the farm with grandparents, sure learned a lot about doing things for one's self.

I always thought your loader had to be down while checking fluid... that way when its full and you lower your loader the extra oil from the cylinder has somewhere to go besides vent out and make a mess.

Glad you took incentive to “Get er done!” I have a set of this claw foots in my toolbox, although, a different brand, their very handy to have.

Knew you could do it buddy. The repair you did is always better than it is in a expensive shop anyway, because you care about your own machine.

Great job figuring out what was wrong!

You could have your own touch a truck event!!!

I really enjoy your videos. I noticed you pointed the end of you fluid check upwards. That can cause a inaccurate reading as the fluid runs down.

Nice to see that up and running again!

Endeavor to persevere! You did it, Josh!

My Deere 260 has constant hydraulic leaks as well as my friends 250. You will become quite antiquated with your lines and o rings. In fact I just tried stop trade it in on a kubota and the dealer has little interest because "those machines all leak so much hydraulic oil" Glad you got it repaired! Your hydraulic dipstick should say check with boom down. As stated earlier it could over flow your tank when you put the arms down.

Saved a bunch of money by doing it yourself nice job. Stay safe work hard.

hydraulic lines make a machine exciting to run. I have had to replace a lot of mine on my old tractor. I have learn to keep a good eye on them. They do keep a nice rust preventative when they blow out lol. If your lucky you can still move it. Now I keep a few on hand just for get me by repairs. So I can get it to a place to work on it for final repairs. Thanks for the great tips on hose replacement. Hope it wasn't too expensive. 3M makes safety arm guards to protect employees from cuts. I have been thinking of using my old ones to protect my hydraulic lines from rubbing with them or any hose. They are made from Kevlar. Just thought it may help ya someday. Have a great week.

For the algorithm😃 Loved the video Josh thanks for sharing God Bless yall stay safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We use James River also. We go to the one in Mt. Airy, and also the one in Statesville is pretty great too.

I just love watching/hearing people Wrenching on their own Equipment!

I have a friend that has a robot cleaner that ran over dog poop in the house and tracked it all over the entire first floor. No robots for me thank you very much.

Only way to learn, maintain and save money , wooo :)

Great vlog Josh 🇺🇲 glad you have that fixed it's always something with farm equipment 🇺🇲 WOOOOOO 🇺🇲!!!!!!!!!!

Macnaught pumps....good Australian innovation.

Good job wooooooooo

Great job. We call those mole grips here in the UK, Great video xx

It’s hard to imagine how a hydraulic line which is down in the bowels of the machine gets a slit in it, but you found it and it’s fixed, great content.

One inch is 25.4mm, haha love your content!

Actually it's better then new because it's fixed .

I have changed that same line probably 20 times (different machines), in my 15 years working at a John Deere dealership.

Power tools, luxury. With enough pain killers and duct tape I can do anything!

I had an older kubota. One hydraulic line ruptured. I changed it. then another and another and another broke. I pretty much changed all the hoses over 2 months.

I skidy bop a happy bop...

Go to nearest hydraulic shop..get the longest hose duplicated...keep for next break down.

I'd say cracked line union or cracked hydraulic line, if it was the pump it would do alot more that pour, it would spray!

May be a good idea to get manuals for your equipment

Having a leak is no fun. By now you must have it fixed and back up and running.

You're treating this repair as a medical procedure. Good for you! First, do no harm.

Johndeere series 1 skidsteers use torque plus 15w40 engine oil in everything engine, hydro,and gear cases

Im paused at 3:57 my guess is for it to be coming out of so many places at once, Im going to say A . Something is spraying, Im betting either a cracked filter housing, or a split hose. Fluid heats up gets thinner, sprays more, hoses also heat up so any crack also sprays more. My guess..... a cracked hose. Onward to see what we come up with...... Edit, NAILED IT a hose GOING TO THE FILTER HOUSING LOLOLOL I mean, how close can you expect me to get without actually getting under it lol. Why cant my real life be like that lol. Hydraulics can be intimidating for the average DIY'er but Im glad to see you diving in, it really isnt that complicated until you get into computer controlled hydraulics and coefficients and K factors lol then it gets nuts!!

What was the cost for the new hydraulic line??

just remember, once you replace a hydraulic line stand by for the one behind it to blow because of the new pressure increase!

Good job on the fix...question...I feel like I follow you fairly well but I've been wondering for some time now and I feel like I maybe missed something...what happened to the the wrangler...?

Man when are you gonna work on Mader miss that good old dump truck.

A vice grip adjustable wrench-Is that a precision engineer I can hear squealing in the background ??

👍Tough repair but I knew you'd get er done 👍

Hey josh you said james river equipment is that the one in danville va bc thats my dealership and they are awesome

When is the shop build coming?

100% wrong with the lift arms raised when checking hydraulic oil you need everything flat on the ground

why didnt you show you putting the hose back??

Still wearing the tires out before the grouser tracks go back on?

I'm guessing something punctured the line. We had issues with coolant on our sxs, found out the kids ran a stick through the coolant hose driving it one day 🙄

Where's that woodmizer at

If you don't have the proper tools you can't do the job. A lesson taught to me by my Dad.

If i were you i would think about driving that tractor onto a large sheet of cardboard as you pulled up into the barn. It will make clean up much easier.

A friends son had a robotic vacuum and their dog had diarrhea and pooped all over the floor in the middle of the night and the vacuum spread it all over the house.

save money on your hydraulic fluid by buying from tractor supply the same spec fluid. More than half the cost

If you take the hose off and it doesn't leak, you found the right hose.

Hey man what happen to the Jeep build the Willy

Good deal. Nice break from the tedium of the election. Speaking of week-long adventures.

How is it going with John Deer and their issues with right to repair? I know there have been lawsuits over this!

Did anyone else see a red atv in the background or was it just me

Typical John Deer leaking hydraulic fluid

Blame it on the gremlins.

When checking hyd. Oil always have cylinders in closed or down position and temp dose not matter come on Josh thought you were a country boy

A guy needs to get some cardboard to lay down before he starts projects like this.

That’s another sorry motha

The spiffy way etiologically jail because cattle partially fetch failing a direful squirrel. lowly, spiritual pamphlet

I’m not sure on skid steers but my tractor says loader and 3pt down and all cylinders should be retracted in and on level ground to check hydro fluid... Either way awesome job getting it fixed saved you a lot of money and whole lot of time waiting for dealer/shop to do it for you!

The correct way to check hydraulic fluid is to have all fluid return to tank by having all arms and attachments in the down position,.. I have owned several skid steers from Cat 259D to now a 2020 Bobcat T76

Never use your hands to find a hydraulic leak with the system under pressure!!

When I bought my JD skid steer the first thing I did was get under the cab and check it out. It had been used for a horse riding arena and the entire bottom was completely full of horse manure, hay, saw dust, mud and sand about 6 inches deep. It took five days to get it all cleaned out. Glad for you that it was only a hose and you didn’t ruin your pump.

Knew you could do it Josh that's how I learned to do things just jump in to it

Good job in finding your leak! Yes, you saved a bundle of money by fixing it yourself...

Glad those hydraulic cylinders were working! Don't own a skid steer, but always good to know!

If you use a shop vac ducktaped on you fill tube of your hydraulic tank you can unhook any hose or anything you want without loosing barely a drop of hydraulic oil works on any hydraulic system to change hoses

A bunch of us called that "200" hour machine as not true when you bought it. Wear didn't match the hours to me , plus just the age.

great call with the string trick though! Smart!

Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

A tip : paint those crows foot wrenches some horrible bright color so it is easy to see when you drop it in the guts of some greasy mess of a machine.

Great vid Mr stoney ridge .I hope all is well on the farm .say hi to Mrs stoney ridge an you all have a blessed day ..godbless

During some part of this video you should have played and sang the song with your g tar if that ain't country

Are we gonna get any more willy's content

Hi Josh...here in N E Wisconsin ..It is Friday nite fish fry...

Good on you Stoney Ridge Farmer! 😎

Didnt see the new hose or the install

Good news is you saved yourself thousands of hours that would normally be spent oiling the back side of your radiator. Small blessings.

I hate skidloaders. Seems like a endless task fixing them. They just don't age well.

I think your going to need to drop the bottom plate???

where did you buy the flashlight with hat clip?

Best thing to do for future is clean it up with brake cleaner non chlorinated type that will make it a little easier to find your leak. The more panels the more you can remove the better too

Oh no not the skid pig.. I mean skiddy bop

There's plates on the bottom that you need to take off to assess the ends of the hoses onlooker ends

GREAT SHOW! Hope that Skiddy Bop is GOOD AS NEW???

Father inlaw has a 250. I have replaced almost every hose under the cab in the last 10 years.

That’s an ugly Friday. Night, brother!

Great video stoneyman that hydraulic hose looks like it was a pain in the butt lol 😂
