Hey there,

So it's winter and it's time to tackle some things that I just don't have time to deal with during the rest of year.

I have one set of remotes on this tractor and for some reason one outlet is very slow. It's the same on any implement I use even when I flip the hoses coming off the cylinders so I know it's related to the hydraulics on the tractor. But why does one outlet go so slow while the other is functioning perfect?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

My guess is the coupler balls or tips inside of couplers are worn enough to not completely unseat to allow good oil flow when coupled

Thanks. That's a good idea. I believe it's still the original couplers and hose from 81...

I'll report back.
