Have a nice 1030 Case that will not lift a 6 row John Deer 7000 planter. Took the valve off and added 2 shims .040 that makes .110 worth of shims in it now, did have .070. Checked pressure, it read 1800, little low but not that bad. Still won't lift the planter even at full throttle. Did notice air bubbles in the hydraulic fluid. Fluid is good, good filter, hoses are hooked up right, top left and top right. Is there an adjustment I can make? Thanks for any help or ideas you may have.
 
Sure you had your hoses plugged in one and each side, Left & Right? Just sayin
 
I used to lift a 7000 6 row fully loaded with a DC. Ours had a 4" cylinder which is what you need. Your 1800# pressure is excellent. What size cylinder does your planter have?
 
We lifted and carried a big heavy 6 row ridge till planter, and cultivator on the 3 point of a 930 for years. If you have 1800 PSI the hydraulic pressure is not the problem. Make sure hoses are hooked up right, couplers have flow, cylinder is big enough, and check for air in the system by flowing a hose into the fill hole.
 
I'll give that a try, hooking a hose and running fluid through it. Hoses are hooked up right, cylinder is big enough. Thanks.
 
Did you try both circuits? How can you be building 1800psi & not have flow? Do you have another implement to try it on?
 
Put a new coupling on the right hand top side of the tractor, hooked it up to a 10ft box scraper that I had to run full throttle to lift before, now it will lift it up easily at an idle. Thank you very much for the great advice.
 
Usually it is the simple things that you over look that get you.
I have a Case 440 that I put ISO female couplings on and tried to use std. Pioneer ball type male couplings with them. The spring behind the ball on the Pioneer couplings was not strong enough to open the plunger on the ISO couplings.

My 1030 wouldn't lift a JD 7000 either. Worked great after replacing the 3" hydraulic cylinder with a 4" cylinder and replacing the hydraulic pump.
 


Hydraulic pressure is just that, pressure, Flow is an entirely different animal. A pump can put out 1800 PSI but if internal wear is such that there is no GPM at that pressure no work will be done. Pressure alone is not an indicator of pump health. I have seen this play out many times during my professional career, that is why a flow meter is absolutely essential to hydraulic system diagnosis. A worn out pump can look good at room temperature and shot at 200 degrees, not an unusual temperature for a ldr/bh combination.That is why a system slows down when hot, the GPM can drop till no flow but at that point in the system it could still show pressure but no flow, and at that point a system may not move at an idle but raise at WOT.
 
I've had this tractor for at least 10 years and had to replace the remote valve when I first got it, the original one had a crack inside the casting. After draining the fluid, flushing the system with diesel fuel, changing the filter using it 20 hours or so then changing the filter again it has always worked great. Last year I had a 870 Case that I had bought and pretty much gave the old 1030 a little vacation. Didn't fall in love with the 870, so I sold it. This year I put the 1030 back to work on the planter, but he had other ideas. It is fixed now, one coupler was weak. Great advice from Loren.
