I've never done anything to the system. And it has never been opened up, had a line off or anything since it was built in 2005. Regardless, it seems to have miraculously stopped. I have used it for light each night this week and it hasn't done it once.

I don't know if the gauge is reading coolant or hydraulic fluid, since it seems to mirror the hydrostatic load I had assumed it was hydraulic fluid temp, but I don't know. Regardless, it goes to just shy of red pretty much as soon as you start doing something and usually stays there. If you start trying to really work it it jumps straight into
