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

Sons Hero and Raul alvidrez Thank this. -
I put the same motors it had same brand same everything ‘ no I can’t move it by hand while empty. Bad bearing where if there was? Thanks in advance

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.Raul alvidrez Thanks this. -
Yes sir I’ve tried doing that and it does the same thing’ yes I put oil back
-
It doesn’t have a relief valve I don’t thinkLast Call Thanks this.

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.
-
Did you hook something up wrong?
-
No sir everything is working the same except that problem that I’m having
