I have an IH 966 that I am having a funny hydraulic issue with. I recently had to drain the rear end of the tractor to do work on the torsion bar. After I had everything back together my 3pt hydraulics acted slow when I first started the tractor I hooked up my mounted chiesel plow and they seemed to operate a little better (I figured they might have been slow because there was still air in the system)but after a while once the fluid was warm they started to slow down. I ran the tractor again today with the chiesel plows and I had the tractor warm and the 3pt worked fine and at what I would call a normal speed.
After that I hooked up the cultimulcher and went to lift them but I couldn't(the tractor was at an idle) I could get them to lift if I had the tractor at about 1500 rpm. but they still lifted slow. My only thought was maybe I have an internal leak in the spool valve. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? Thanks for any help and sorry about such a long post.
