Hydraulic Plow Right swivel turn hates the cold

[dtbprc]

works great above 25 degrees. the lower it gets the worse. Angles left easily but going right is SLOOOOOOOOOW. Sometimes almost does not move. did also notice some times it does the same for down. bx2230 with hydraulic plow with down force. fluid? Dirty valve? Rusty valve? again it works perfect above 25 degrees.

water in valve? if it freezes would it make the plow slow

You're probably right on. Something is causing the problem when temp. drops.

Water in the detent area will cause problems.
Also water in the fluid will cause problems too.
