Hi all,
I have an '86 6610 force 2 fitted with a ford power loader on quick attach brackets. I'm good with engines, electrics etc but not great with hydraulics. The loader was transferred off our old 5000 years ago. It ran off a seperate valve chest on the 5000, but runs off the spools on the 6610. If I try lowering the loader slowly the entire tractor shakes. In addition, as I lower it puts pressure on the pump and pulls the revs down. It'll sometimes stall the engine. I've tried slowing the flow and it makes it worse. In addition, the forks begin to tilt forward under heavy loads as though it's bleeding off. If I tilt the forks forward or back to the limit and release the lever it also strains unless I nudge the lever the opposite way again. A neighbour figures that the seals could be shot in the valves at the tractor was run on constant pumping driving a log splitter. Raising the lift to the top also puts the engine under strain. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave
