I have a 3200 with the 32hp Vanguard big block and the 5400 hydro. Today I when I was checking everything before mowing I saw the hydro tanks looked empty. I checked them both and both tanks were way below the cold mark but they still had some fluid in the bottom. Last time I used it the fluid in both tanks were at cold level. My first thought was a leak but since they are independant units they both wouldn't be low (at the same low level). The unit has 29 hours on it and it's still under warranty and I'm assuming this is not normal or is it, do the hydro units use this much oil????

Export threadSorry to hear about your problems but thst 4 year warranty sure is nice......I did not have a leak anywhere, called the dealer and he said sometimes even new, they said not enough fluid may not be added. I went a head and got the 29/50 Castrol synthetic and hasn't lost any since then. May have not be bled right or air in the lines.
Just got off the phone with dealer. Got another new pump coming! Yes, that warranty is very comforting! He has always used synthetic in my machine as well. He said there was a apparently a bad run of pumps. I always have the best timing on things like this.
