While discing this spring I came up to the end to turn and to my surprise I had no remote hydraulic pressure and I lost power steering.
That’s when I noticed I had NO hydraulic filter pressure and my transmission pressure was still in the green but slightly fluctuating.
Just before that everything was “OK”
No heat problems
Transmission Hydraulic pressure was strong
Filter pressure was strong (filters only had 60 plus hours on them including new oil)
I was close to the shop so I took it there to get another tractor.
I have since changed the filters and checked the remote hydraulic pressure.
While cold in “Idle” (600 rpm) the filter pressure is in the mid green range but as I speed up the engine the filter pressure drops to “0”
The remote pressure is 2000psi but if I depress the inching pedal the hydraulic pressure is only 1000psi
The tractor seems to shift ok but when I rev up the engine the filter pressure drops so I’m not wanting to push my luck and damage the clutches.
I have not checked the clutch pack pressures yet since I don’t know the testing sequence or pressures.
I don’t have book on this tractor but one is ordered.
Could the problem be the pressure regulator for the filters.
The hydraulic pump on the side was my second suspect but like I said my remote pressure is 2000psi so I don’t think that’s the problem.
Any suggestions?
