Farmall 560D hydraulics

Clay

I can see your point, clearly it is pounds per square inch, however farm implements just aren't that heavy to over burden a farm tractor with good working hydraulics. I suspect had they rebuilt the M hydraulics, it would have lifted the 7000. My Farmall 300 would lift a 7000 with ease, and it was no better than dad's H with belly pump on the 31 loader. In fact the IH dealer was stymied 3 years trying to make the 300 as good a the H on that loader. Finally Dad got fed up and bought a Cockshutt with a Wagner and front mounted pump for loader work, mainly because he wanted the 300 in the field.

I quite regularly used Farmalls 300 and 130 or a case skid loader for moving big implements in the yard for servicing. (20' disks, 25' cultivator, 10' offset disk, 5x16 semi-mount plow, etc) Anyone of those tractors would lift these implements with ease. We even tried to convince a salesman one day that we regularly pulled the 20' disk with Case skid steer going backwards. LOL Not sure he believed us, however he had worn out his welcome.

Many times I've taken large implements to field where 1066 was working and did it with Farmall 130 and probably take the implement he had been using on to next job. I've even put 130 or skid loader on back of dump truck just to operate the hydraulics, moving a large implement.
