I have a 2019 JD feller buncher that has shut down on me. I was going to cut a tree and the rpm dropped down to 0 and the hydraulic light was blinking on my keypad. Since then it will not start.

New project around the farm/sawmill....found an old Komatsu D31A with a 6 way blade. Pretty good shape considering it's age but has been sitting for years.

It need its share of TLC but was able to drive it into my shop, but without steering. The bulk of the issues have been resolved, but still...
