[AT] tractor hydraulic pressure measuring? Dean

[Dean VP]

John,

I'm not sure how to interpret your results and I don't know for sure what the
manufacturer's specs are for a TO35 but I would have guessed the pressure would get to at
least 2000 psi on early TO35's up to serial number 168853 and 2500psi after that.

Dean, i installed a good gauge in the pressure line and set the bucket under a heavy (too
heavy) load and got a reading of 1800 psi.  The empty bucket alone takes 1500 psi to lift.
This is a smallish tractor (TO 35) but doesn't 1800 lbs lift maximum seem a 
little woosey?    John W.
