Why is my Jay-Lor Farm Equipment losing power?
- H
  Hannah KnappAug 14, 2025
  Several factors can cause a loss of power in your Jay-Lor farm equipment. It could be due to a contaminated hydraulic oil filter, which requires replacement. A low hydraulic oil level in the reservoir also leads to power loss, so check the level and add oil if needed. Other potential causes include a malfunctioning hydraulic oil cooler fan (on A100 models), which necessitates checking and repairing the wiring or replacing the fan. Additionally, the speed/direction control linkage may be out of adjustment, requiring adjustment, the engine rotational speed may be too low, requiring a check of the engine throttle, or the engine air filter may need cleaning as per the engine manufacturer’s instructions.

  If your Jay-Lor farm equipment system is running hot, several issues could be the cause. First, check the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir and add oil if it's low. Also, ensure that there isn't too much debris on the hydraulic system components and engine; remove any debris you find. For A100 models, verify that the hydraulic oil cooler fan is operating correctly; if not, check and repair any broken electrical wiring and fittings, or replace the fan if necessary.

What to do if the auger stops rotating during mixing in my Jay-Lor A50?
- D
  Daniel KnoxAug 21, 2025
  If the auger stops rotating during mixing, it could be due to several reasons. The auger might be jammed, in which case you should clear any packed material. Another cause could be an un-lubricated auger support bushing, so ensure it is properly lubricated. Also, the auger leading edge might be digging into the drum floor, requiring you to adjust the auger height. In CE units, the auger may stop rotating if the unloading door is open and the foot safety switch is not depressed.

Why does the auger rotate slowly during mixing in my Jay-Lor Farm Equipment?
- J
  Jamie RojasAug 28, 2025
  If the auger is rotating slowly during mixing, it could be due to the hydraulic oil being too hot. Allow the system to cool down before resuming mixing. Make sure you remove any debris from all hydraulic system components. If you have an A100 model, ensure the hydraulic oil cooler fan is operating; replace it if necessary.

Why is it difficult to steer my Jay-Lor A50 Farm Equipment (self-propelled model)?
- A
  Alexandria StevensSep 4, 2025
  If you're finding it difficult to steer your self-propelled Jay-Lor farm equipment, several factors could be responsible. Start by lubricating the steering bearings, roller chain, and gears/u-joint within the steering assembly. If that doesn't resolve the issue, check for seized sealed flange bearing(s) in the steering assembly and replace them if necessary. Also, ensure that the tire pressure is at the maximum recommended level by the tire manufacturer. Finally, inspect the steering chain for looseness and adjust the tension if needed.

What causes a ‘dead spot’ during mixing with my Jay-Lor A50?
- N
  Nicholas WilsonSep 6, 2025
  A 'dead spot' during mixing, where material won't mix in certain locations inside the mixing chamber, is often caused by the machine not being level, so make sure the machine is level when mixing. It may also be caused by the condition of the knives, so check the condition of all knives and replace them accordingly.

  If your self-propelled Jay-Lor farm equipment is difficult to stop, the speed/direction control pedal may need lubrication. Lubricate the pedal bushings under the operator’s platform and clear any packed material around the pedals.
