Ford 2110 Hydraulic issues

[jefmfree]

When I have an implement on the 3 point, the tractor will lift it great (@ idle) before it warms up. Once the tractor gets warmed up, I have to increase the rpms to get the implement to raise. An hour or so later, I will not be able to raise the implement half the height as I could before the tractor warmed up. Any ideas??? Thanks.

This is the 2110 compact series (1984)

You do know that hyd fluid gets thinner as it heats up.

It is common for cold fluid to make things work better than when hot.

You might try a fluid designed for your operating environment.

You might also have some worn parts that fluid is bypassing.

Yes, I am aware of the viscosity changes. Just don't understand why at start up I can fully lift implement at an idle, then 30 minutes later not be able to lift implement half the height at WOT. I am going to change fluid and filter to see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions.

You might also take some pressure readings to help trouble shoot the problem.

Any idea what the readings should be?

A manual would be most helpful.

Contact the FORD tractor dealership, and they should be able to tell you the relief pressure.

Any idea what the readings should be?

most ag application pressures top out at 2500 psi...

Where on the hydraulic line do I need to test the pressure?

If you have a loader and QD, just plug the gage into one of the QD's.

If you want to permanently mount the hyd gage, insert it in a tee in the IN port of the loader valve.

If no loader, find a fitting just after the pump and mount the gage in a tee in the pressure line.

What about using one of the rear remotes?
