[AT] tractor hydraulic pressure measuring? Dean

[John Wilkens]

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.
