M-110 jerky hydraulics until fluid warms up

[Billstown]

I have a 2000 model M-110 that has real jerky hydraulics until the fluid gets warm. It's obvious in the FEL, 3pt, and steering. As soon as the fluid gets warm everything works like it should. Anyone else had this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This is Kubota's position on engine and hydraulic system warm up.

I suggest your tractor is warning you with the jerky hydraulics. It is no longer good enough to get the engine to start and then off to work....It will get expensive ignoring the warnings.

When was it serviced last and what kind of fluid did you use?

Thanks for the replies! I've never heard of an warm-up period. I could understand if it's below freezing but the problem occurs even when it's 90 degrees. It was serviced a few months ago with Kubota oil and filters.

Did it have the problem before the last service?

Try to hand tighten your hydraulic filter a little more and tighten the hose clamps on your suction tube hoses. You are probably sucking some air until its warmed up.
