Well after 84 hours of running my new to me machine, yesterday in the extreme heat the first leak ever happened on the hydraulics in the crowd cylinder. Its not bad, just a dribble, but it will coat the back side of the boom if using it all day. Quote from Deere is 1170 to fix if I bring the machine in there or 990 bucks if I bring the cylinder in there by itself. What do other guys do on your leakers. Again, mine is not bad, but it wont fix itself over time. A buddy of mine says expect to see leaks when its really really hot like now, or when its really really cold. Maybe I wont worry about it until I need to start added hydraulic oil? So far I havent noticed the oil tank even going down. Your thoughts?
