I have an MF 65 diesel with multi-power. I know someone has probably done this before, but could someone explain in layman's terms how multi-power works? My tractor's multi-power seems to work fine at times and other times it's not quite right. I just spent a few hours brushhogging the other day, up and down hills, putting the multi-power through its paces and it worked great. Today, when I shift from low to high in multi-power, it hesitates and seems to not fully "engage" and the "hill-holder feature" won't quite hold the hill like it should. Any suggestions? Like I said, it worked well the other day. This seems to happen every now and then. The transmission fluid levels are correct and the multi-power linkage seems to be fine. I've tried several different settings on the linkage and it doesn't seem to matter. Someone on this discussion board said one time it could be a dirty transmission filter.

Thanks for your help in advance!

From what I can remember, this transmission can be finicky if the transmission fluid gets 'dirty'. If the oil isn't the MF M-1110 or M-1124 oil, things will act up when you least expect them to. If one isn't using either one of these oils..... there is a tendency for the oil to get hotter than normal and cause a 'black varnish' to build up making things not work right.
Changing the filter may help, however you might be having this same behavior down the road. If I were to be doing this.. I would go the extra mile and put 'Amsoil Hydraulic Transmission Fluid'..... however this can be quite expensive unless you're really using the hydraulics on a very heavy usage item such as a loader or hydraulic motors.
Using the oil supplied by the dealer(s) is a much more viable option for this model. We had the hydraulics on a 'Super 90' act up on us such that thr tractor had to be revved up in order for the system to work right. We went back to the oil supplied by the dealer and didn't have any trouble afterwards. This was found to be as a result of using oils from other places. Their warranties wouldn't cover this for whatever reason(s) in our situation. Had we used the dealer supplied oil..... we would have been money ahead from not having repair bills and eventually trading in on a 1085.

Change the filter, notice if it acts different cold or hot, test how much pressure it being put out by the pump. There are metal sealing rings in there that might not seal as good when the oikl is hot.
