MF-135 Hydraulic modification

My MF-135 is equiped with pressure control hydraulic
system. I do'nt use the constant pumping or pressure
controlled device. Hydraulic is little jerky and fast leak down when egine is stopped. Had a new pump intalled recently...I suspect the pressure control system to loss pressure.

I plan to install a standard releif valve on the pump and replace the "Y" stand pipe by a straight stand pipe to bypass entire pressure control system..... .What do you think ?

Thanks in advance

The pressure control was designed especialy for a weight transfer hitch to be used with some trailer and/or implements. Another use was to control pressure on hay balers equiped with bale density hydraulic control. Personaly I never saw pressure control in use.

Pump is new...cylinder holds pressure OK the only
last component I suspect is the pressure control valve.

Anyway I will post the results good or bad....

Thanks for reading

Thanks for your reply....

The lift cylinder is ok because when I place the diverter valve to external remote position the lift
can hold 500 lbs for several days.

I plan to left all components there...the only modification I will attempt is to install the usual releif valve on the pump and put a straight stand pipe... the position control will only operate in the position range. The draft control will work as usual. This way the max pressure will be controlled by the added pump releif valve instead of the pressure control system.

That's what I plan to do but...who knows...that's
why I ask for opinions I may had forgotten someting that will not permit what I expected.
