Hello, I have a 2012 l45 loader backhoe with around 700 hours on it. The problem I am having is after the tractor reaches normal operating temp I begin to have forward and reverse issues. The tractor will start jumping forward and often the reverse will completely stop working. I took it to a Kubota shop, after almost a month they had made no progress and racked up nearly 5 grand in shop hours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, you should be really sore in a certain body part area. It is at the wrong shop.
You said a Kubota shop; it this a Kubota dealer familiar with your model tractor? My local dealer is clueless about the M size tractors so I would never use them for major repairs. Like mine, yours may know the mowers and B series machines really well but not much else. Sure sounds that way.

What the heck did the Kubota Dealership do to it that cost you $5000 and didnt fix the problem? I'd report them to anyone that would listen. BBB, Small claims court, Judge Judy.
They racked up 50 or more hours and still don't have a clue? I'd be complaining to Kubota about that dealer.
How has the maintenance been on that transmission? Fluids and filters changed regularly?

While an issue with the charge pump fits your symptoms I wonder if $5000 would've been better spent on a new charge pump or complete Xmission replacement.
Charge pump, I'll check into that. Another thing I thought was strange, it sounds like the engine is under a load when you are lowering the loader bucket. I'm not super familiar with hydro systems but I wouldn't think it would require much force to lower it.
