hydro fluid change

[Andy Borden]

Hello all,
Can a hydro change make your hydro system perform better if all components check to be ok.
The fluid looks a little milky and the lift raises a little slow. Also, does the hydro lift help in any way in getting your implement down in the dirt (i.e. disc).
Thanks
Andy

Andy,

Yes, clean fluid and filters (if applicable) can make the hydraulic system perform better.

No, the hydraulic lift system provides no down pressure to help an implement engage the ground. If you want it to cut deeper, find some weight and load it up.
