IS2100Z control issues?

[gentry]

Guys I have a IS2100Z ~50 hours and the controls are getting stiff, hard to push. The longer you mow the worse it seems to get??
Spoke with the dealer, they were clueless.
Anyone have or heard of this problem??

Check your hydro oil. Should look light tan like engine oil. Because it is engine oil. Any other color and you will need to change it. If it is low fill it up.

Tried lubing all of the places where one part moves against the other

I've lubed everything that could be lubed, don't think that's it. Ill check the hydraulic fluid and see what it looks like.

Clean the Heim joints on the levers. I have an IS700 that had the same issue. It will crop up again unless you cover the joints. Your dealer should have known about this problem. Mine did. I do plan on covering the joints with plastic bags after the mowing season. Other than that minor issue, my 700 has been flawless.
