B2601 Hyd Pressure only 1700

[cre73]

I have been somewhat disappointed with the lifting capacity of my B2601. Finally measured the pressure and verified all loader ports maxed out at 1700psi. Should I take it back to dealer or install shims myself.

I was hoping to see improvement after the 50hr service last fall and did not see any improvement. Tractor now has 77hrs.

Get the WSM and do the shims yourself.

Yes I have the manual, I was just concerned that there was possibly a larger issue causing the low pressure. Thanks for the reply, I appreciate everything you do here. Havent had to post many questions here because I can usually find the answers in other threads.

Pull the relief valve spring out and inspect that first, if it looks good then just and a small shim, if you don't see a rise in pressure, then something else is amiss, check back then for more info or another direction to look.

You measure the pressure at the tractor first, then at the loader. Use the WSM to do the procedure.
