285 steering

Posted by mmfan55 on January 12, 2014 at 15:22:46 from (68.210.9.90):

I posted this earlier; but; must not have been clear on my question so here goes again. We have an M-F 285 that has the "hydrostat " steering. All steering controlled hydraulically. No traditional steering gear box; pitman arm; drag link, etc.... The only "hard" parts in the steering is the tie rods ( 2 ) and the hydraulic "valve" that hooks to them. This tractor has a good size front loader on it. It will not steer sitting still with an empty bucket. If moving; it steers fine. we have had all front end components gone thru by a local M-F dealer ($3000 worth). Does any one else have this issue with the hydro steering? Is no steering at standstill normal?? The dealer says the steering is okay. Not supposed to steer with the weight of a loader. Would like to hear FROM OTHER dealers; mechs; and owners of this type steering tractor. THANKS
