I have owned a Ford 3610 with a Koyker Loader for 25 years. However, I never figured out the hydraulic system.
Purchased the tractor and had a new loader installed. When it was delivered, was given demo of operating. But it did not have a implement on the 3-point hitch.
Problem ! With a implement attached, loader only works if implement ( like york rake) is on the ground, and lift & draft control are positioned ? Could change depending on tractor location on grade. Most times with implement attached the loader will ( shutter, vibrate ) when it moves. Must make adjustments to lift and draft controls. I filled hydraulic fluid with all the hydraulics fully extended and have zero leaks. Really impossible to get any useful work out of this tractor without a implement. The implement is also used as a counter weight. Works fine without a implement.
