my suggestion for checking the hydro is a little different than delta red's.
With the tractor in low range, step on the foot-n-inch pedal (where the clutch would be if it was a gear drive), move the hydro lever into the blue area of quadrant, half throttle or so, hold the brakes, and let out the f-n-I pedal. A good hydro will overpower the brakes. In high range, same procedure, it should stall the engine. If the hydro starts whining instead of moving, the hydro has a problem.
as noted before, yours shouldn't coast in high range. may be adjustment? also, as noted, you can't start it by towing. if you need to tow a hydro, put the hi/lo lever in neutral or you will hurt the hydro. they are a very useful transmission if maintained correctly. you will love it for harvesting work. i put a lot of hours on an 826 hydro, pulling a 5 bottom plow. it was still going strong when dad traded it off on a new 1086.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
