Hustler 4600 weak hydraulics

[DSophia]

I just bought a 2000 model 4600 with 900 hours and noticed the right wing cuts noticeably slower than the left. what could cause this? Hydraulic pumps getting weak? Thanks

Could possibly be the hydraulic's ?......but do the quick simple check first....check the tire(s) to make sure that it has the proper air pressure or does not have a slow leak, etc. before actually tearing into the hydraulics?

Hopefully something that simple will correct the problem?

If not, good luck on determining the outcome and getting it fixed.

Checked the tires. I have a hunch it’s a loose belt on the front deck that runs the wing hydraulics. I’ll tear into that next. Thanks for the reply.

Did you get it resolved, we have same issue. Acts like a hose is plugged.
