transmission pressure drops to zero and won’t move

[SteelSwinger]

I'm having a persistent problem with my equipment's transmission. When I'm using it, the transmission pressure typically shows around 280 psi. But, the next time I try to use it, the pressure drops to 0, and the machine doesn't move at all. This behavior is really confusing to me, and I'm not sure what's going on.

Has anyone else dealt with a similar issue or have any ideas about what might be causing this? I'd really appreciate any advice you can share.

It sounds like something is failing or getting blocked or unblocked quickly. but without being able to see the machine, it's hard to pinpoint.

But if you're comfortable, checking the fluid level and condition would be the easiest first step. Otherwise, getting a mechanic who specializes in that type of equipment to take a look and do some pressure testing might be the best way to go.
