Hello eveyone. I'm new to the forum so thanks in advance for any insight and help you all may have. I recently purchased a 2015 1100C with a kubota V-Plow already installed. This one has all of the quick couplers and attachment point on the front with hydraulic lines going all the way to the rear and the lift and angle solenoids placed there in a box bolted to the side of the transmission case. A couple of issues I am having. First of all the left side wing on the plow will only move if you are pretty much stopped and there is no load on the machine and engine at idle. it ticks a little when you depress the switch but stops until you slow to a stop and then press the button again. I switched the two pressure relief valves on the plow thinking maybe that was the issue and it would follow to the right side but didnt seem to change much at all. The other issue Im having is hydraulic fluid seems to be migrating from the hydraulic system (under the passenger seat) to the rear differnntial when using the snow plow. It didn't seem to have this issue all summer as we check them from time to time but after running the snow plow this winter the rear dipstick (yellow) was about an inch too high and the one under the seat was slightly low. I have found most of the service manuals but cant seem to find anything that helps address these two issues. Any ideas? Thanks again everyone. Lots of very knowledgeable people on this site.
