Hi Dave,I can't speak specifically to your tractor because I've never been within 15 miles of an 826 so really hope someone else more knowledable than I will jump in here and bail me out. But, in the meantime, I'm talkin' generalities. :>) The breaks and remotes are gonna work okay. The breaks are a metered low pressure feed and the remotes are on a completely different pump altogether. However, at 1200 psi, you've still got to move at least 6 gallon per minute or you've got a weak pump. Also, that figure still seems low to me. Shouldn't that pump be crowdin' 1600 to 1800 lbs? It is the intermittent operation when warm that is bothering me. When things are seemingly working okay, does activating the brakes stop the steering? That would darned sure point at a weak flow, I would think. Does the steering always work okay cold? Does the steering work okay with the weight of the loader dropped to the ground and off the tractor? At 1200 lbs, then bleed off a few hundred for subsystem operation, you're down to around 800 lbs for steering on a tractor with a heavy loader on it. It still sounds like starvation to me. Dunno, just tryin' to help, Allan
