Has anyone here put hydraulic steering like on the bigger tractors on a 560?Does the 560's hyd pump have enough flow to run the steering? The manual says the 560 makes 2.3-2.7gpm at 1200-1500 psi,the pressure sounds ok but the flow is a little slow sounding. I have never been happy with the power steering on my tractor with a loader on it and this morning I was out stacking bales and something popped in the front end,now the wheels are locked about half way to the right and the steering wheel turns freely about one and a half turns and locks. I have a hydrostat control and the steering cylinder and all the nicknacs to put hyd. steering on there,but would like to hear others opinions first. Especially on the flow of the 560's p/s pump. thanks..

Chris you will have to look, could have broken the warm shaft or a tooth off the rack or pinion. Good lock

Chris the 560 has to pumps 1 for steering and 1 for the hydraulics that is why 1 has to low flow it is for the steerng only the hydraulic pump should be about 12 gallon and 12 to 1400 psi. The 560 had good steering so I would say yours is not up to par. Could be the pump weak the valve in the front end not opening all the way could be bad seal on the rack. In order for the steering valve to open properly the shaft that goes into the front housing must be able to move in and out some, that is why it as a fine sline on the shaft and in the u joint if the spline is rusted tight then the whole shaft back to steering wheel must move bac and forth for the valve to open. I would say 560 had as good steering as the newer 706 through 66's. I would check it all out before jumpnig into change.

I've got 2 560's and have had the loader on both of them. Both tractors steer fine without the extra weight of the loader. The tractor with the loader broke something inside this morning, a loud pop and everything locked up except the steering wheel,it turns about a turn and half then hits solid. I raised the front end and tried to turn the wheels by hand and they won't move at all.And of course the loader mounts to the front bolster and it all has to come off before I can get in to it and see what happened
