Would it make much difference if it wasn"t under constant load? With my old tractor, the baler seldom worked it, couldn"t hardly tell it was there. Also with the bale mover, aside from starting it to roll, it"s not hard to keep it going, not working the motor much. Different than farming type applications under constant load. Less load/less need to use bigger quantities of air? I"d just like something reliable and fuel efficient, I"m used to taking not much more than 2 gallons per hour under heavy load, barely over one under light (Oliver, 99 pto hp). I don"t have many choices here, there is a decent 1086 close to here for cheap, sounds and looks goo but unknown hours and use, I"d like to look at a 986 just to see one. Another question, I don"t know what year they started with closed center hydraulics (I know I saw it here but I don"t remember without looking). I know they are a lot of $$ to fix, but how reliable are they? There is an "81? 1086 where the 986 is, if it"s still there.
