I've seen the paint melt on the hydraulic tanks of really big chippers and forestry machines when the oil gets hot. If your motors are just warm, chances are there's no problem.
Also, always leave the speed valve fully open.
Mick, 46 is a higher grade than 32 anyway. What you dont want is to run 32 in equipment specced to run 46.
Hydraulic motors do wear, and as they do, they loose power when they get hot. New motors on a small chipper are cheap enough though. What model is it?
