I was cutting hay and it didn't seem to lift very fast and made more of a squealing noise than I am used to from my other tractor. My haybine has a single acting cylinder, is there a setting I need to make to use that type of cylinder? Where do I check the oil level? Hopefully the manual arrives soon... Thanks, [Reply]   [No Email]

As far as the squeeling, that's the bypass. Which direction on the lever raises the head? It should be hooked up to raise when you pull back on the lever. If it chatters when lowering, or lowers extremely slow, the restrictor needs to be adjusted on the back of the valve body. Donovan from Wisconsin [Reply]  [No Email]

Still squeals some, especially when hot. Was using it on my round baler today and noticed it when ejecting a bale. On the haybine with the single cylinder, I pulled back on the lever to raise it.

Do I just add more in that same spot? Is Case-IH Hytran alright or does it need something more specific? [Reply]  [No Email]

I just use regular hydraulic oil. Someone else will probably chime in on that hytran fluid [Reply]  [No Email]
