Hi guys, just wanted to post a few pictures of the 850 Powermaster that I purchased. The loader was a Sauder D220 with a 40" manure bucket with long tines, and two other buckets that fit on the tines and attach with pins - a 40" and a 60" bucket. It is a trip loader but works excellent. All buckets are in excellent shape. To
take the loader off, you simply unhook a single quick disconnect, lift a single lever, and back off. It sits on the axles and attaches to the back rear housing. I
took it off the tractor as I have a loader already on another tractor. I took the brackets off too.
The tractor works very well. It took a minute to get used to the 5 speed, but I do like it. No slippage in the clutch. Brakes work great. The gearing is great. I
had an 860 a long time ago but sold it and regretted it. That is why I bought this.
The PS works very well and was effortless even with the loader on it. The rear tires are in very good shape - 13.6 x 28, filled, with weights, and the front ones
are two rib with little to no ribs left. The hydraulics work very, very well. They are very strong, responsive, there is no drifting, and no leakage down even with
a very heavy weight on the back. However, one of the PS cylinders weeps just a bit after about an hour of use. I will get a repair kit for it.
The rest-o-ride seat works great too. The gauges all work, but it has a 4 speed tach on it. The sheet metal is almost all straight, and there is no rust on the
tractor. No leaks of any significance that I can find. The pto works fine too. The oil pressure hot at 500 rpm idle is 45 psi, and goes to 60 psi when idled up.
Original 6 volt system.
I do not know the hours but by looking at the pedals it seems to have seen little use.
I will repaint it once I get it cleaned up a bit and post some pics later.
Thanks.
