I recently purchased a 601 series Workmaster. I have yet to find the serial # but based on it being a 4 speed with a PTO I ve guessed 641. Tractor was clean. Converted to 12V. Minor oil leak but otherwise fired up. It came with a brush hog and the 3 pt worked and PTO.
I purchased it to move small round bales. 800lb max. It s got wheel weights and per specs was rated for 1200lb+ so I figure it ll do the job. Have some livestock I feed and just going about 500ft or less on flat ground to move these bales. Got the tractor for $3200 with implement. Not a bad deal for the area. Greased it, checked fluids, all was well.
Got home and put on my 3 pt hay spear and now I ve got pulsing in the hitch when I go to lift any weight. There was a "check" of sorts on the 3 pt lever and I m curious if that might be indicative of some issue. I assumed it was just a guide for the brush hog but maybe more?
Any insight would be appreciated. I ve done a search but most pulsing questions have to do with newer hydraulic systems and this is quite a bit different from what I m seeing.
Planning to buy a manual today to get a better idea of what s what on this thing.
