    Why is there a loss of hydraulic oil flow from the gear pump in my RAMROD Compact Loader?
    • P
      Paul AdamsAug 27, 2025
      A loss of hydraulic oil flow from the gear pump in your RAMROD Compact Loader can stem from a few issues. First, check if the reservoir is low on oil and add more if needed. Also, inspect the drive couplings between the engine and pump for any breakage, replacing them if necessary. If the hydraulic gear pump itself isn't functioning, inspect and repair it.

    What to do if RAMROD Compact Loader has erratic or no output on transmission?
    • M
      Maria SloanAug 30, 2025
      Erratic or no output on the transmission of your RAMROD Compact Loader can be caused by several factors. The hydraulic oil might be too heavy; use the proper viscosity oil. The flow divider may be set to deliver all flow to the attachment; adjust it to deliver flow to the machine. Additionally, check the hydraulic oil level and add oil if necessary. Finally, the drive coupling between the engine and pump could be broken; inspect the couplings and replace them if needed.

    • M
      Megan ClarkSep 3, 2025
      If the hydraulic cylinders on your RAMROD Compact Loader aren't functioning properly, it could be due to a loss of hydraulic flow from the gear pump (see above). Another possible cause is air in the system, in which case you should bleed the system.
