Was spraying with the same pump and booms as the last few years. I went to lift the booms and they would not lift. I could not get pressure on the sprayer. The spray pump is a hydraulic driven one. Has worked for a few years now. No heat issues. The booms are hydraulic also. They used to have an electric over hydraulic like a snow plow. Well the motor went south so just plumbed in ti the couplers on tractor. This works fine.
Now all of a sudden I can't lift the booms or get pressure in the booms for spraying. So used another tractor to fold booms by switching lines. Tract0or was leaning to the left and back a little. Oil level on stick said just under full. Got it to the house. Checked pressure to lift booms with gage. Got 1500PSI at the couplers. Hooked lines back up, and now all works fine. So what was the issue?
Booms will lift fine, they have pressure in them of 20 psi to spray with. I guess I will check the oil after dinner and see about it again.
