Does anyone that uses a remote hyd. valve notice how warm it gets? This summer I added a Tatro grapple to my B2910. I used a Prince open center valve rated at 25 gpm. I believe I plumbed it correctly, I ran a hose from the loader valve's PB port to the remote valve's IN side. Then a hose from the valve's OUT back to the tractor where the PB had originally been connected. The whole system works fine, but after working it for ,say, an hour on a hot day, the remote gets so warm you can't touch it for more than 10 -15 seconds. The loader valve gets warm too but not to the point where you can't hang on to it. Is this normal? I don't know how hot hydraulic oil is supposed to operate. The oil level is up to the top mark on the stick, and both filters and the hyd. system oil were changed at the 300 hr. mark which was about 25 hrs. ago. Any thoughts? I fear I may be cooking the HST pump.
