[AT] Spam> Hydraulic Oil Ffoaming

[charlie hill]

I had a neighbor build a lift boom for my D-14.  
I had him build it about twice as heavy and half again
longer than he thought I needed.  He scoffed at me
but he did it like I asked.  When it was finished I went
over to his shop with the tractor and hooked it up.
He scoffed at me again as if to say the lift wouldn't lift
near what the boom would handle.  His son was standing
there.  The kid was about 6'4 and 320 lbs. He grabbed the 
end of the boom, laughed and said see if it will pick me up.
His dad scoffed again.  I had the throttle at just over an idle.
I hit the lift lever full up all at once.  The boom snatched the
boy off the ground and when it stopped going up the kids
head nearly hit the end of the boom as he was launched.
They quit scoffing.

Same here Charlie. My Super 90 Massey hydraulics works just fine on Case 
IH Hytran oil. Same as the bigger and newer ones do ..
It will lift anything I have tried so far.
