Hydro charge circuit pressure question hydro expert needed

Ok, on my 1066 Hydro, at low rpm the tractor seems to go fine. At higher rpm the tractor begins to slow down and if I back off the throttle, it picks power back up. The servo control pressure is good in neutral and drive. The charge circuit pressure in neutral is about 500 psi. In drive, it is about 50 psi. It should be 170-215 psi in drive. According to the manual, if low pressure in drive only, it could be the min regulating valve in the multi valve. There are no o-rings or anything in that valve. So, could it be a busted spring or something in the valve or is it more likely the charge pump is bad? It would seem to me if the neutral pressure is a healthy 500 psi, the charge pump should be good??? Hopefully someone will give me some direction on this...

Is the charge pressure the same in both forward and reverse?

With the hydro in neutral there is no flow though the center section so there is no flow directed to the minimum pressure valve. The maximum pressure valve controls the pressure. When in neutral or reverse there is flow through the center section and returns to the multi valve and pressure is controlled by the minimum pressure valve. If the problem is in the minimum pressure valve the pressure should be same in both forward and reverse. If the pressures are not the same the problem may be a leak in the forward high pressure circuit.

If there is a problem with the charge pump you might also have problems with steering, especially at low idle speeds.
 
Owen,
Yes, the pressure is the same in forward and reverse. Steering seems to be good. Pressure in both directions is about 50 psi. Minimum pressure valve? Thanks a bunch Owen!
