I have a BX22 with about 450 hours and have had all the recommended servicing done by my local dealership. Earlier in the year I had a leaking hydraulic line, and brought it in for it to be replaced along with periodic oil and filter changes. Shocked at a $900 plus bill where they changed out other lines as well (without calling me). Since then, I have had 3 other lines develop leaks, and have changed them myself. I have a recent problem that my hydraulics (bucket and backhoe both) barely move now. I am wondering if I might have crossed lines when replacing the bucket control lines, and if that might have caused it. I have replaced the filter and fluid. It got pretty low when I had a backhoe line start leaking one day and didn't notice it. Changing the fluid and filter didn't help at all. I tried to get the strainer out today and didn't have a metric wrench big enough. Any ideas? Also, anyone have a hydraulic line diagram to make sure I haven't miss-attached a line? The tractor runs great and the transmission is just fine. The steering acted up earlier in the year but seems to be much better now (without me doing anything to correct it.) I have no experience with hydraulics but have done quite a bit of trouble shooting other mechanical things. Thanks!

Start with the strainer.
Find the proper wrench and give it a cleaning.
I doubt it's gummed up already but it's the cheapest, easiets fix. Can you get to it with a crescent wrench?
Pretty weak of the dealer to do extra work without your permission.
