Over the last two uses of this tractor mainly loading and unloading big square bales with a loader attachment and grapple I started to notice the steering beginning to get stiff and by the end of the second use had no power steering. I raised the front tires up off the ground using the attachment and turn them far-left and far-right several times but once weight is down the front end again have no power steering. To the left of the steering wheel is hard and will not turn with weight on the front tires and to the right it is hard but will slowly free Spin. Just prior I had a hydraulic line on the loader attachment rupture. I replaced the hydraulic line but lost a large amount of hydraulic fluid. I refilled the hydraulic Reservoir prior to operating the tractor but as stated earlier have lost my power steering. Is it possible that the fluid drained out of the hand pump? And if so how do I refill it or prime it?
 
+1, telescoping steering column could be sticking/needs cleaned up. If not these two suggestions, steering pressure needs to be checked(approx 2000#) and go from there.
