Tried your idea on the relief valves. Both the FEL and the Hoe will hiss if you try to send them past there stop points. So I'm guessing the pressure is OK! On a pressure gage I had about 2,100 to 2,500 psi. (Fluctuated if you touched anything.) Seems everything on this tractor is Hyd. Turns out there is two pumps on it. One for the steering and clutch. The other for the Hoe and FEL. Did find out if I disengage the flow to the Hoe. (No I didn't mean that to rhyme!) The hoe doesn't settle hardly at all. Even the FEL with some large rocks on it will stay up for the day. Dealer did come to the house and check it after I put the gauge on it. Said everything was in spec. So maybe I'm just getting to used to what it can do. So I'm expecting more. Told the Wife it may be time for a bigger tractor. She just smiled and said "NO!" /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. Thanks everyone for the ideas. I never really knew anything about hydraulics so this has been a definite learning experience! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Hydraulics are weak.
