I had the same thing happen to mine but after remembering what the book told me, 90 wt. above a certain temperature and 80 wt. below a certain temperature. I went ahead and used it in the slow mode cause I didn't have that much snow to remove. I figured that it was just stiff oil and when the weather warmed up, I tried it again and it was okay. One way to check if this is the problem is to raise it all the way up and push the control lever all the way down and if it is as slow going down as was going up, then it is thick oil and nothing wrong with the tractor itself. I think if I had a big job to do,I would add two to four quarts of automatic transmission fluid to the resorvoir and see if that would bring the hydraulics up to speed. But I will say that this is my own idea and I am assuming that it will work. Of course next spring when it warms up, you would have to go back to 90 wt. Just need two clean five gallon cans to put it in for use again next winter.
