Purchased a new B3350 in October 2020 and first year was great. The following time frame the tractor has been in the shop more than at home. currently the unit needs an extended warm up time and doesn’t care for the cold and loses power in mid operation if the tractor is moving even when it’s warm outside. Most recent visit to the shop and filings were found in the hydraulic oil and oil case had started to erode? Case was replaced oil was purged and oil was run through filter system to purge solids. First day back unit ran well day 2 problem returned Power drop off when engaged pretty much all operations. Not sure if this happened to anyone but if it has I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. I have told my dealer to replace the unit. So far to date they haven’t been able to nail down The problem

Your dealer should be ashamed for selling you that problem tractor, the LX3310 was already out(this tractor replaced the POS B3350) The emission system on the B3350 does not like cold weather, are you installing the bra? If you search this site(eyeglass in upper right corner) you will find all the horror stories. Keep pushing for the dealership to replace this tractor.

You found filings in the hydraulic fluid.

Do you think you’re chasing a hydraulic problem or an engine problem (or both?)?

It’s hard for me to tell from your description, as you mention both.

Problems with the hydraulics has nothing to do with emissions!

Not sure what I am hunting warm or cold operations , the unit as I am moving either forward or backwards will inconsistently act out. I will have full engine rpm then it will almost stall out when moving , I stop all the power returns. Been to the shop several times and they struggle to replicate the problem. Starting to wonder about my supplier
