How to Repair a Hydraulic Problem on a New Holland T120

If you are experiencing hydraulic issues with your New Holland T120, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and repair the problem:

1. Identify the Problem

Start by identifying the specific hydraulic issue you are facing. Is the hydraulic system not working at all? Are there leaks or strange noises? Understanding the problem will help you in finding the appropriate solution.

2. Check Hydraulic Fluid Level

Ensure that the hydraulic fluid level is adequate. Low fluid levels can cause various hydraulic problems. If necessary, top up the fluid following the manufacturer's recommendations.

3. Inspect Hydraulic Hoses and Connections

Check for any visible damage, leaks, or loose connections in the hydraulic hoses and fittings. If you find any issues, repair or replace the affected parts as necessary.

4. Examine Hydraulic Filters

Inspect the hydraulic filters for dirt, debris, or clogs. Dirty filters can restrict fluid flow and lead to hydraulic problems. Clean or replace the filters if needed.

5. Test and Adjust Pressure Settings

Using the appropriate pressure gauge, test the hydraulic pressure settings. Compare the readings with the manufacturer's specifications and adjust accordingly if the pressure is outside the recommended range.

6. Bleed the Hydraulic System

If air has entered the hydraulic system, it can cause performance issues. To remove air, follow the manufacturer's instructions to bleed the hydraulic system properly.

7. Seek Professional Assistance

If you have tried the above steps and the hydraulic problem persists, it may be necessary to consult a professional technician who specializes in New Holland equipment. They will have the expertise and tools to diagnose and repair complex hydraulic issues.

Remember to always refer to your New Holland T120's user manual for specific guidance on troubleshooting and repairing hydraulic problems. Proper maintenance and regular inspections can help prevent future hydraulic issues.
