My sun"s tractor. He has to run for 1/2 hour or more to get 3pt to work in winter. We are working on some leaks (in the seat lift and remote valve) is their anything to do? Thank You
 
When was the last time the fluid was changed? Farmer I worked for in High School had an 806 that didn't steer, stop or lift very wellfor a while if it was cold, always thought it was water intheHY-Tran oil ans it was a little stiff when we tried waking it up. Are you using the correct fluid? If it's to thick she'll be stiff until you get her warmed up.
 
Change the oil and filter and als keep up on the filter change . When the oil is cold things don't move well . Heck i don't move well when it gets cold out i am still till i warm up.
 
My 1256 is also slow to fall when its cold at start up.Sometimes it is even slow in hot weather.My 706 falls well no matter what temp,hot or cold.
 
I would pull the unloading valve clean and polish it and new o-rings. If hitch won't raise right away when lever is pulled, try dead heading one of the aux valves. If the hitch responds to this, then you know unloading valve is problem area.
