Stickler: Let me assure you not all of Canada ever gets that cold. Here in SW ON they consider anything below 0 F to be extreem. Where I farmed in Nova Scotia 0 to -20F was the norm. Only twice in my life time have I seen -40F. If I never experience it again, I will not be disappointed.

I did however experience same problem with my Farmall 560D as you are having with your 666. Ice crystals block filter to a point that the pump becomes starved for oil. It can completely ruin the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic pumps don't last very long without oil, as it lubricates pump as well as performing hydraulic function. From your discription of starting and warm up, my guess is that your hydraulic pump is allready ruined.

I had a 2000 loader and over the years had it on both 560 and 656. It would lift more on 656. On either tractor it played with 5x6 round bales. From a lift stand point I don't think there was much difference between 1850 and 2000 loaders. I know I had a neighbor couple years back load some items on a truck for me with his 444 and 1550 loader. These were all pallets, and all weighed 1500 lbs. plus the pallet. I can assure you, pallets are just as difficult as round bales. Weight is one matter, but just as important is how far beyond pins of loader bucket that weight is.
