I have no problem making left hand turns, but making right hand turns is the problem. When I first start the tractor, the problem isn't that bad, but the longer it runs the worst it gets. I've checked all the hydraulic lines and no leaks. Under the steering wheel is a round cylinder that has the right and left in and out lines attached. I guess you would call that cylinder a valve. Has anyone ever had this problem or have any advice.

Had the same problem on BX2200
Rebuilt steer cylinder on front axle
Seals were hard
No more steering issues
Thank-you so much, Priced the valve on saturday, and went into serious sticker shock. ($745.00) I'll check out the cylinder and hopefully that is it. Once again thanks and have a great day! mack58

Your cylinder should be serviceable, take it off and take to a hydraulic repair shop.
