Hi folks,
The post below mentioning 180 hydraulic problems got me thinking. I was wondering: How much noise do these pumps typically make when
everything's well and good? The pump on my 180 is louder than any other tractor's hydraulic pump I've been around (with the possible
exception of the White 2-105 and its piece of crap Vickers pump, but that's another story). It's not crazily loud, but certainly louder than
most other tractors. They hydraulics all seem to work ok, except that at very, very low RPM the power steering is a little jerky - especially
when cold.
Is this something to worry about? I'm not exactly looking for unnecessary or make-work projects, but if there's any chance it's going to
cause issues I'd rather deal with it now than have it fail half way through baling a field. The hydraulic filter/fluid has been changed and
replaced with Hy-Guard pretty recently.
