I'm back with more hydraulic questions for my son's 560. And forgive what may seem like novice questions but we're brand new to tractors!
The rear hydraulic ports are giving us issues. He had his haybine connected and was able to cut and raise and lower it for a little while and then he lost the ability to raise it. It has a dual action cylinder.
With the hoses connected it seems as though we're able to only get it to go up or down if we switch the hoses around which to me means we're only getting hydraulic pressure on one of the ports. With that point back to the control valve for those ports? Is there some kind of cleaning, fine-tuning, etc? I do have it set to dual action.
The bottom port has the ball fitting in it which I'm more familiar with but the top Port has more of a nipple. That top Port seems to be functioning better and I think the ball in the bottom port May be malfunctioning as we're getting a fair amount of hydraulic fluid drip from it.
Is the right sequence of attacks to first try it without the filter in place to see if that's the culprit? Also then to put a hydraulic gauge on both of those back ports?
