Mainly when the oil is cold the steering will stiffen up for a short time after I move the steering wheel real fast. It doesn't matter if I turn the steering wheel a quick full turn or of I wiggle the steering wheel fast back and forth, the steering wheel will be harder to turn for awhile after the fast steering. The stiffness seems to go away quicker if I hold the steering straight ahead for a few seconds. If I continue to move the steering wheel it seems like the stiffness lasts longer before it will free up. I have noticed this to a much lesser degree when the tractor is warmed up in the field. It has done this sporatically for a couple of years and has not gotten worse. What's going on? All other hydraulics work fine. It's a power shift.
