I finally got this auction scow home. It cut half of my field before the hydraulic pump got really hot. I went over the manual to find the fill location. Anyway, it appears that the original fill cap has been replaced with a 1/2 inch plumbers plug. There is no way to check the level. What is the right level? Not knowing much about tractors, I was running the bush hog with the isolating valve open. The bushhog stayed down for the first 20 minutes. After that, the unit raised itself on its own. I could not keep the unit down without using the isolation valve. The problem is that the hydraulics seemed to overheat when I did this. How can I keep the 3PTH down without closing the valve (or am I supposed to). The hydraulics seem to complain and overheat with this valve off. In the other extreme, I cannot keep the bushhog down. It will elevate after I give the tractor some throttle.
The manual doesn't help. What the heck am I doing wrong here?
