I have a Farmall 806 and am having hydraulic trouble. The other day, I hooked up to our IH vibrashank and thought I would see how it would do. (Our 966 is usually used on it, but it was being used for plowing) When I tried to lift the vibrashank up, the hydraulics made a humming noise, slight load on motor was apparent, and I saw the hydraulic hose jump an inch or two. However, it would not lift the implement up any distance. Our 966 has no trouble lifting it. Afterward, I tried the other set of remotes and it lifted it barely an inch or two at WOT. I drove out to the field, worked up, and noticed that as the tractor warmed up, the hydraulics worked better, but not as well as I thought they should. (It won't lift our cyclo-air planter initially either, but will after the tractor warms up as well) After 5 hours of straight work, it would take 20 to 30 seconds at 2400 rpm to lift the vibrashank all the way up while going in 3rd gear without the TA on.(In other words, I had to start lifting before I reached the end of the row to prepare for the upcoming corner) It seemed faster if the hydraulic lever was varied in position. Also, if I had the tractor sitting still, it could not lift the vibrashank out of the ground It would only lift when the tractor was moving. Lastly, when the tractor is standing still with the vibrashank out of the ground, the fast hitch raises up and the vibrahank tilts back. I know that the fast hitch doesn't have downpressure, should it hold the hitch down? The hitch lifts up when backing hay wagons up the barnhill every once in a while, too. Any ideas?

The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
