So I just picked up the tractor today and talked to the mechanic. He told me it is very common for the hydraulic pumps at around 100 hrs to 150hrs start to get sluggish, he said alot of people dont notice the heavier steering. He pulled right from the WSM on bumping the hydraulic pressure up, and told me that since this was a warranty issue if I have anymore problems with it regardless if its out of the 2 yr time frame they would fix it. So I guess Ill run with it and see how it goes. On the crank seal leaking he said there was bahia wrapped around the crankshaft and sometimes thats all it takes.
