    Hey so I’ve been having trouble unloading a silage trailer’ it started when one of the motors on the trailer started leaking oil so I changed the motor and it started struggling too unload at first’ I would have too press the gas of the truck to unload and if I don’t the truck dies on me so I thought maybe I put a different motor on the trailer so I bought Twonew motors put them on the trailer and nothing changed it keeps doing the same thing’ I need help cuz I’m lost now. Also I changed truck because I said maybe it’s the pto or pump on the truck and no the trailer does the same thing with a different truck someone help

    I know very little about this, it could it be that the motors were designed for case drains that aren’t hooked up. Or a restriction in the return line, pinched hose, cupler not flowing enough? Does it do the same thing in reverse?

    can you move it by hand when empty? Might be a bad bearing. ?
     
    Raul alvidrez Thanks this.

    Is your trailer plumbed with a pressure relief valve ? Because it sounds like you have some sort of Restriction causing the pump to bild pressure to the point it stalls the engine

    You might have less trouble just resealing the original motor and putting it back on.

    I assume you've already replaced the oil that leaked out.

    Well I’m making an assumption… slack the chain and try turning the free wheel sprockets (the ones opposite the motors{I’ve seen em drivin from ether end front or back}), if those are free then I would go back to return line flow.
