The Satoh hydraulics are generally slow. Yesterday the loader would lift a scoop of gravel just fine, but earlier today it wouldn't. I messed around trying to measure the system pressure, but didn't get any measurement. When I took the gauge out (engine off),I lifted the three point arms buy hand to suck the oil back into the reservior. I started the tractor to put it way and the loader acted 'normally'. Doesn't seem like the pump is exactly bad, I don't know how it would recover. Now I'm wondering if the pressure relief valve is sticky or tired.
Has anyone replaced the pressure relief valve and know what thread is on it ? Or, if you did, do you remember what you used for the valve ?
Thanks
Greg
