Does the machine lose power when it gets warmed up? Have you checked the hydraulic oil level? If the machine loses power when it gets warm it could be a worn hydraulic pump.

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't know the MF 300.
Could be a relief valve problem. The only way to be sure is a pressure test.
Are the hydraulics only slow when not under load :?: Do the hydraulics whine when under load :?:

When we had all the rain I got it stuck up to her nuts now the ground dried up I've tried getting it out and it will rock back and forward a couple of feet but that's it the tracks are not continuing to spin oil levels are all good I'm tried finding manuals for it but no joy I could do with finding a big winch to pull out with but with current climate money a bit thin on the ground and I'd rather get her out under her own steam
Many thanks for the reply
Desmond

Desmond,
Try lifting it up at the front & putting logs or wooden blocks under the tracks.The closer to level you are,the better chance of driving out.
The 300 has a Torque Convertor /powershift drive system.You might have a steering adjustment or wear issue.
The Operator manual will show adjustments.
steeringclutch.com has a steering parts diagram on their website.
There are quite a few manuals available if you do a Google Search. MF also made a 300 series farm tractor...don't get them mixed up.

A member here Als Garage might have info & a parts book on file.He did some posting about an MF300 a few years back.
