I used my new old 1963 I806 today for the first time for real work. I hayed 10 acres with it and a New Holland 495 haybine.
One problem I had was that the hydraulics seemed barely up to the task of raising the haybine when it came time to transport it. It seemed like there was a sweet spot on the valve that would allow the cylinder to raise very slowly. Otherwise, no raise at all.
I hope I'll be able to operate my round bailer with it.
The haybine has a single acting cylinder and one hose. At one point I found that putting the hose into the top remote coupler worked better, but that didn't hold the next time I tried.
Do hydraulic pumps get weak? The tractor has seen a lot of use and is fairly rough around the edges. What can cause low hydraulic pressure?
BTW, the power steering seems to have enough power as do the brakes. Although today I think I detected a bit of "chatter" or vibration in the steering. My case backhoe does the same thing sometimes when the hydraulic system is tressed and you ask it to turn.
