Hey Scott, How did the power steering work on this tractor? Just wondering if both the PS and lift arm systems were affected by this problem. 2010 hydraulic issues have been discussed quite a few times on this forum. Use the search function to review the various posts. I cured the hydraulic woes on my 2010 row crop about five years ago by simply replacing the steel mesh filter with a NEW filter from Deere (costs about $75 from Deere). Don't attempt to clean the old one - for some reason, these screens can't be cleaned of microscopic contaminants. Believe me, I tried to clean mine with carburetor cleaner about 4 times and it still didn't work = wasted 20gal of hydraulic fluid. Finally installed the new filter and both PS and lift arms still work OK to this day. Same situation on my 2010 forklift! The previous owner gave up trying to get the PS to work. I bought the forklift from him for a bargain for that reason! = installed a new filter, and steering has been working fine since. With or without the hydraulic problem, I probably would't give more than a few hundred dollars for the machine that you are looking at, due to the poor reputation of the 2010. If you end up getting this machine, I can fax you the pages from the manual that deal with hydraulics.
