Long 2610 hydraulic problem

After some investigation, I noticed that the hydraulic pump would get hot enough that you could not keep your hand on it if the chisel was left in the up position, but if I move the 3-point control lever forward about 1/4 th of the quadrant the pump will cool down (and the chisel at this lever position has not yet started to go down). After the oil cools off everything will work fine if I raise the chisel by pulling the lever all the way back, and after the chisel has been raised, back off the lever to the position noted above and the chisel will remain in the raised position. Also noticed that when I move the lever past that 3/4 raised point of the quadrant with the chisel attached(I have not tried it without the chisel attached) I can hear the engine work a little harder.

So what is happening is when I raise an implement and leave the lever in the fully raised position, the pump and oil will get hot and the lift will not work. The loader has no such problems, so I am thinking that there may be an adjustment or something in the hydraulic lift?

Anyone have any suggestions?

One thing you can try if you don't already have the top link hooked there. Try the bottom hole where the top link connects to the tractor. There is a type of control valve to the right of the top link holes,with a connecting rod that senses load. I think the bottom hole takes more weight to move the rod.

I would always lift the cutter and then moved the lift lever back down a little like you wrote about and never had any problem. I've since bought a larger tractor and don't use the cutter on the 2610 now.
