My 856 gas steers like a tank! I am 6'3" and 280 lbs and it is all I can do to point it in the correct direction. The steering wheel stays where you put it, it will not self straighten. How can I regulate the required power.
Thank you
Ben

With out putting the gauges to it and seeing what ya have for pressures And like Chuck said does your brakes work and is the T/A shifting if ya have one it could be a pice of dirt or something in the steering orface A blowen MCV gskt or O/ring . Week springs something binding in the steering . Before ya just start tearing into this one MUST have a book a clean place to work something to drain 18 gallon of Hy Tran into . Have you changed the Hy Tran and filter lately . If ya are not up on hyd. repair then it may be best to have someone that knowes what they are doing work on it as you sure do not want to try and jack pressure up much over factory spec.'s or one could find his MCV flyen off the tractor and ya would not be the first that blew one off the tractor then little 5/16ths bolts will only take so much.

Hi Ben, Do you have breaks and does the torque shift? If it is that bad I wonder if your pump is working at all. Good luck, Chuck

My 826 was real bad still needs some MCV pump help. But it is a lot better becuase of two things.

Make sure both front tires have 44 pounds of air
and make sure both thrust bearings are working correctly.

Also, jack up the front end and see if the hydraulics are helping at all. and if it is loose.
