Hydrostatic trans problem

[BenWorkn]

I have a 2007 Kubota B3030 with the hydrostatic trans. It is taking longer to warm up and to move. If it is not really warmed up when you try to move it it makes a squeeling sound and does not want to move. And if it does move when you go to steer it while moving it's hard to steer. I recently changed the trans fluids and filter. Does it need to be primed? it only has 334 hours on it and is maintained as the maintenance book says. Any thoughts?

Did this problem start after the fluid change?

What kind of fluid did you use?

Do you have an HST filter in addition to the hydraulic filter?? If you do, did you change both?

No --- no need to prime or bleed anything.
