Its hard to explain but the hydraulics do not seem that smooth from the power steering to the lift arms. Vibrations, catchiness, etc.
Today while running the pto on a sprayer the power steering was almost non existent, very hard to steer. I've noticed this when running other equipment too with the pto. Also, I've had it running a hay cutter and basically almost choke the pto power down, not because of over load but just something happening internally with the tractor. Usually I kick the pto off and restart it and its fine for a bit.
Anyway, is this a sign of a new hydraulic pump needed? or something else going on.
