I have a Farmall 400. I have been trying to diagnose a hydraulic problem. Besides a few leaks I am unable to lift a large bale of hay over about an inch or two. I was told the bales were in the 1200 lb range. The 3 point conversion arms stick back about 3 feet from the hyd. cylinder. I use a chain around a bar under the tractor to act as a toplink.
So, I have been asked about if the hitch settles over time with a load on it. I put a grader blade on the 3 point arms that weighs in the 200-250 lb range. It settled bout 3/8 of an inch in 12 hours.
What opinion do you all have? Is it a bad leak, small, or just ordinary? I think that it shouldn't drop at all with a perfect system.
