Hydralics?

My New Holland (now sold) would run the loader, 3pt and move all within 10 to 20 seconds of starting the machine. The Kubota would fire up and would run the loader, 3pt and move all within 10 to 20 seconds of firing up the engine. My new Bobcat (Kioti clone) requires about 30 to 45 seconds of running the engine before it will move. In the winter maybe double that time to a minute and a half.
Never required 5 minutes on a compact tractor to get it moving/lifting/etc. That said, much depends on temperature of where the machine is stored, the fluid used, the tractors hydraulic pump, etc. So while 5 minutes seems like a very long time, on a Chinese made machine like the Farmtrac I guess it might have a lower capacity pump, etc to run the hydraulics?

Wait for it.
I would bet a shiny new nickle that the hydraulic filter or screen is plugged with crap and causing it to be slow untill the hydraulic fluid is so hot it flows freely. I would drain and flush the hydraulic system, change the filter/screen and see if it makes a difference. It may at least save problems down the road.

What Cowboy said!
Your hydraulics should be fully operational within 60 seconds tops unless you are at below freezing, if so, you need to have a thinner hydraulic oil or use synthetic aviation hydraulic oil. But you may have issues with your hydraulic relief valve being set too low, so you don't have the pressure to run the system because it is all being dumped back to the tank.
Find someone who can put a pressure gauge on the system and tell you what the pressure in a warm system is running at, and then reset it to factory settings if it is low. But a dirty strainer or filter will cause those issues on the system too.

also you may have a pump sucking air i had a champion grader doing this once because the tank was lower than the pump to solve the problem i made a longer suction hose with a big loop in it so there was always oil to prime the pump on start up worked great never fried another pump
