hello New to Zetor and owning a tractor

[marcusdorsey]

I inherited a Zetor Super 4341 and I have never owned a tractor before. I currently have a problem with weak hydraulics and them jerking. I also struggle with only having an operator manual . Every problem is a very frustrating adventure. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Have you checked the hydraulic oil level? I would start there.

If there is enough oil in the gearbox and it is constantly adjusting the lifting gear, then the oil seals on the internal lifting cylinder are probably leaking. It doesn't cost much, but it is a bit of work.

I have a third idea, the pump could be knackered. Because if you have weak hydraulics and jerky lift arms, you could have where your pump just can't build up enough pressure to lift the arms when you have something on or the jerk if it suddenly lifts. But in theory it could be a bit of all 3 suggestions so hard, you have. It could be low in oil, a knackered pump and oil leaking out of the cylinder under the lift cover.

Check your oil level first, then put something heavy on the lift arms, raise the arms near the last, and turn off the engine to see what happens. If the seals are bad in the cylinder, the arms will drop like a stone when you stop the engine. If it stays up and only goes down over night, they're not too bad. If you put on something heavy and it struggles to lift all the way to the top, I be thinking your pump is shagged
