IH 784 hydraulics question

I got my 784 ready today and took it for a work out. It runs and pulls great but the hydraulics have an issue. Once it got hot the lift seemed to vibrate when I picked up the harrow. The entire tractor vibrated. The vibration lessened the longer I ran it but it didn't go away. I changed the filter last week and I could've done something wrong there but it appeared fairly simple. I'm going to run it another hour or so to see if it clears. Any suggestions on what might cause this?

Thanks,

Scott

Was it lifting it up properly, not lagging
or anything as it was being raised. Not sure
but it sounds like it didnt have enough
pressure built up

Chattering check valve? It lifts quick and holds.

Hi Scott, is it sucking air from around the filter? Is there plenty of HyTran in the transmission. Check HyTran level with
transmission warm and tractor at fast idle at about 1500 RPM. Level should be above hash marks on transmission dipstick.
Overfilling by 5 gal is always recommended.

I. Just changed the filter and fluid. I put in about 10 gallons and I have another 2.5 gallon jug that I'll put tomorrow. I will report back the results.

Thanks,

5 gallons extra appears to have done the trick. I had read about this but thought its for hydro only.
Thanks,

Scott, the trans/diff has multiple chambers and there is a small transfer pump that is supposed to keep the hydraulic oil level in
all chambers so the main hydraulic pump doesn't suck air. So over filling fixes that problem.
BTW nice looking 784.
