    Glyphosate Tank for Diesel Storage

    Hi Everyone, I got an 120 gallon glyphosate tank from a friend about 5 years ago. It had a little bit of glyphosate in the bottom so I used that around the yard and then rinsed it with water and used it as a rain barrel. I'm thinking about repurposing it as a diesel storage tank. Right now...

    PTO Not Engaging / weak

    Thanks for the help, I've attached the relevant pages of the repair manual. I was able to test G1 and it is reading correctly at 227 psi. When I have the solenoid off G2 reads at about 100 and then slowly drops over time. I think that must be happening as the fluid is warming up. the longest I...

    Price Check  Should I buy a Montana 5740C?

    Hi everyone, A guy is selling his 2008 5740C for $12,500 CAD. It has 1200 hours and comes with a bush hog, finish mower, box blade and rototiller. He says the AC doesn't work and there are a few pieces of glass broken on the cab, some lights need repairing. He figured $4k to replace it all. I...

    PTO Not Engaging / weak

    Hello friends! I've been having a PTO problem for the last few months. It's too weak to use and sometimes won't engage or disengage properly. It's electric over hydraulic. I cleaned out the solenoid valve and the other valves in the PTO control block but it didn't help. I took it to a dealer...

    Loader Can't find Montana loader specs anywhere.

    I'm a bit late to the party but when I was having problems with my loader (https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/398059-slow-weak-loader-montana-r4944hst.html) I managed to get a user manual for the loader from the company that used to make them. I've found it rather helpful. You're...

    R4944HST PTO Not Working

    Hi there, I've got a Montana R4933HST tractor which is an LS 4020. The PTO used to work ok, then one day it wouldn't shut off. I learned if I tapped the solenoid with a screw driver then it would shut off. Last night I used it to do some rototilling for a couple minutes and it shut off fine but...

    Slow and Weak Loader on Montana R4944HST

    The problem has been solved. I installed a new plug from New Holland and we are up and running. It's somewhat frustrating that I spent a lot of time and money for a $20 problem that took 30 seconds to fix but such is life. I guess its the price I have to pay for experience. I've attached some...

    Slow and Weak Loader on Montana R4944HST

    I think your on to something oldnslo. I pulled the plug above the pressure release in the hydraulic block and it was item number 3 on the front outlet valve diagram. So when there was no front loader, that plug was put into the front side which basically allowed oil to flow from the pump then...

    Slow and Weak Loader on Montana R4944HST

    Well after taking a couple weeks off to build a shed I'm back at it. I replaced the loader valve assuming that it had to be the problem. It seemed better but still not what it should be. I still can't get the pressure on the loader valves past 1000 psi, which is no where close to the relief...
