3ph hiccup/bouncing

wmthrower · Sep 28, 2010

I had a post hole auger on the 550 last weekend and when I raised the 3ph to the top it started to bounce. If I lower the 3ph a little it goes away. What would cause this? I know that I have a little too much hydraulic fluid in there now after I had to replace my dipstick. Is it a dirty filter or some pressure buildup? I haven't used it so I don't burn the pump up. Any ideas?

That"s your draft control working. Auger top pin should be in bottom hole of top link attachment and may have to set tractor for NO draft.

I've not been around the 550 that much, but on my Cockshutt, I had to adjust the linkage that shuts off the hydraulics when the arms get high enough.

I'll take a look at the draft control when I get home. Maybe I need to move the auger pin. I think its in the middle hole now.

I don't think its draft control. Happens in any hole and does it with bale spear which it never did before. I have some leakage between hydraulic unit and block for remotes. Seems like I might be building pressure or maybe a bad o-ring?

Anybody have an idea of something to check?
