NO! it should not coaast in High range. The Hydro will hold back/stop the tractor on a hill.Leave at full throttle and just pull the lever back just as you would normally slow down.Easy test:While stopped (In high range) step hard on the brakes.At full throttle,push the lever completely foreward. That should stall or severely overload the engine.As fair as "expencive" to overhaul the transmission....no,not really. No more costly than any other transmission on any other gear drive tractor.Especially a JD powershift. And nobody ever seems to complain/badmouth those.Contrary to popular belief,you can 'farm' with em. However,they tend to use more fuel than a gear drive. That is because you set the throttle at pto/rated speed and use the lever to speed up/slow down.The hydro 'unit' is basicly nothing more than a hydralic pump and hydralic motor. they need good/adequet oil flow to work properly.Just put in Low range and rated or pto speed and plow. if hard pulling,wide open..I've been sitting on my 826Hydro the last several days 'stirring dirt'.I've owned 3 hydros(826.1026,Hydro 100).And I've been around/driven numerous hydros all my life.Plowed/worked ground all day long for days......Love those Hydros!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
