TO 35 3pt lift

Hey all,

I put a boom pole on my to35 today to pick up a tractor tire
filled with calcium into a pickup. The 3pt would. It lift it, and if I
was going to guess the tire weighed about 500-600lbs. I tried
raising it all the way with no load and then using a chain fall
attached to the boom to lift the tire, but all it did was pull the
3pt down. I was thinking tmwould lift if with no problem.

What do you guys think? Too much weight or something
wrong with the tractor? When I tried to lift it, it just shuddered
a little and didn?t move.
 
There may not be anything wrong with the hydraulics (yet). I have a Ferguson Crane and according to the tag it has a capacity to lift 350 lbs. when fully extended, and 650 lbs. when fully retracted.
 
Install fitting as per required ...pictures:

As you lift with the THREE POINT hitch watch pressure reading on Gauge:

You could also place lift arms in the down position,install GAUGE,chain arms down, then lift Slowly on lift arms....take not of PSI on Gauge. Max reading on GAUGE, shall tell you the PSI out put of HYDRAULIC PUMP, and or, the point at the relief valve starts to relieve. This is the method I used to check a newly installed HYDRAULIC PUMP in my MF 35 X.

The FACTORY SET MAX HYDRAULIC PSI on your TRACTOR ??????

I'm guessing the relief valve may be bypassing.

I built a homemade boom for mine, probably about 5 feet out. It would lift the front wheels.
 
It could be, but it will also release too soon if the spring is rusted or the seat is bad.

A leaking cylinder will also reduce the lifting power. So will blown orings on the stand pipe. You can remove the round inspection covers and look inside for internal leakage.

A weak pump, usually bad valves, will cause slow jumpy lifting.
