What to do if the hydraulic system of my Toro Utility Vehicle runs hot?
- L
  Laurie FordAug 17, 2025
  If your hydraulic system is running hot, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic tank is adequate. Adjust it if it's low. The fluid itself could be contaminated or have the wrong viscosity, in which case you should replace it. Check if the hydraulic fluid cooler is damaged or plugged, and repair or replace it as needed. Also, make sure there is no obstruction of the fluid cooler air flow. Verify cooling fan operation and remove any debris from in and around the fluid cooler. Lastly, the traction pump bypass valve may be open or damaged, requiring you to close or replace it.

Why is hydraulic fluid foaming and leaking in my Toro Utility Vehicle?
- E
  Eric HowellAug 22, 2025
  Excessive foaming and leakage can occur for several reasons. The hydraulic fluid level in the tank might be low; adjust it accordingly. Using the wrong type of hydraulic fluid, mixing incompatible fluids, or water contamination can also cause this issue; in any of these cases, replace the hydraulic fluid. A damaged, leaking, loose, or clogged suction filter or line could also be responsible; secure, clean, or replace these components as necessary.

How to fix no traction in my Toro Utility Vehicle?
- C
  Caroline GarrisonAug 26, 2025
  If your Toro Utility Vehicle has no traction, start by checking if the parking brake is engaged and disengage it. A low hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic tank could also be the problem; adjust the fluid level. Inspect the traction control linkage for incorrect adjustment, binding, or damage and service or adjust as necessary. Additionally, the traction pump bypass valve might be open or damaged; close or replace it. For further diagnostics, it is recommended to verify charge pressure and traction pump operation.

Why is the traction response sluggish on my Toro Utility Vehicle?
- M
  Mary GoodmanAug 28, 2025
  A sluggish traction response may be due to several factors. If the hydraulic fluid is very cold, allow it to warm up by safely operating the machine at rest. Check the hydraulic fluid level in the tank and adjust if low. Inspect the traction control linkage for incorrect adjustment, binding, or damage, and service or adjust it as needed. The traction pump bypass valve could be open or damaged, requiring closure or replacement. Also, make sure the engine speed is adequate and increase it if it's low.

What to do if lift cylinders on my Toro Utility Vehicle won't raise properly?
- K
  kleeAug 30, 2025
  If the lift cylinders are not raising or are raising slowly, first, ensure the engine speed is sufficient and increase it if necessary. Inspect the lift arms for any binding, wear, or damage, and repair or replace components as needed. Check the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic tank and adjust if it's low. If these steps don't resolve the issue, further diagnostics may be required, such as verifying the rear lift cylinder relief valve operation, or testing and repairing the lift cylinder.

Why is the steering sluggish on my Toro Utility Vehicle?
- D
  Deanna EricksonSep 2, 2025
  If the steering is sluggish, operating poorly, or is inoperative, inspect the steering components (e.g. ball joint, steering cylinder) for wear or binding, and repair or replace if necessary. For model 07845 machines, it is recommended to verify charge pressure, and to verify the steering control relief valve operation.

What causes the hydraulic motor of the front or rear attachment of my Toro Utility Vehicle not to engage?
- J
  James QuinnSep 5, 2025
  The front or rear attachment hydraulic motor may not engage for several reasons. Ensure the operator is in the seat when the traction pedal is depressed. Inspect the attachment assembly for any mechanical issues like binding, wear, or damage, and repair or replace if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, further diagnostics may be required, such as inspecting the attachment assembly for binding, wear or damage, and repair or replace if necessary.
