    Help with John Deere 3350A front loader hydraulics please!!!

    that big hose with just clamps means its not very high in pressure which most often means its a return line dumping the oil back into the reservoir.

    continuous transmission vario fendt, hydrostatic transmissions hydraulic powershift, classic and mec
