I just purchased a new tractor, has discharged hydralic fluid out the vent tube since day one. Anyone ever seen this? Dealer unsucessful after two trys.

I have had a 7060 for 1.5 years. Have not had hydro fluid out the vent. My guess is it is overfull or has an internal hydro leak causing the fluid to foam and push out the vent. Good luck.
I see yours have the same power steering noise that my 7060, have you had any problems from it, I only have 130 hrs on mine so far

Take the hose off of the J bend pipe and make sure the pipe is clear.
Put the end of the hose into a small clear bottle, run it and when fluid presents itself, check the color and constancy.
If the fluid is milky or foamy and whiter than normal, you either have water in the hydraulic system or there is air getting into the system before the pump (that would explain the noisy power steering).
How many hours are on it?
Has it had a filter and fluid change done yet?

Is it actually blowing fluid out or just a mist so to speak?
My L3000 makes a small mess just from the vapor especially when it's real hot or working it pretty hard doing fel work.

Have seen some mist buildup on the M40 series, but never the M60 series....but they are still sort of new.
Does the transmission area get real hot? Max temp should be 100° above ambient. So around here, about boiling during the summer. And if there were any moisture in the system, it would boil a little out, aka burp. Then cool off and pull humid air back in, especially at night.
If it's getting hotter than normal, it will burp a little. The excess heat could be caused by a lot of things.

It is blowing out a steady stream just started doing it again this month. Just now started plowing with it. no discoloration or milky look, just clear fluid with no foam.
