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

What happens here

The video introduces the project: fixing a major hydraulic fluid leak on a John Deere 250 skid steer. The creator mentions the loss of 5-10 gallons of fluid in about 15 minutes. The initial steps involve checking the hydraulic fluid level with the dipstick, confirming it's low but still registering. The skid steer is then driven into the workshop, after dropping the attached implement (a Danuser Intimidator).

Goal: Confirm the hydraulic leak and prepare the skid steer for repair

Tools and materials

  • Danuser Intimidator — Attached implement that needs to be dropped
