i have a 1080 massey that is having a pto problem, when i get in thick grass the mower will quit, alsothe remotes seem to have low pressure, any suggestions on what the problems could be

I"ll be interested in the responses, since I have a 1080 that seems to have exactly those same problems. I"m thinking I might have to split the tractor and do the hydraulic pump and PTO clutch. Does anyone know if there is a replacement pump available, or rebuild kit for it? There don"t seem to be too many 1080"s out there, so I"m a bit worried there won"t be parts available. I would really like to get my pto and 3pt hitch working better. The tractor starts, runs, and drives great. But that"s only half the tractor in my mind.
Thanks,

Troy Boyd

It has been about 5 years since we had our 1080 rebuilt and will say it as I remember it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. You have two pumps in the transmission, one piston that controls the 3pt and Multi-power and a gear that controls the Hyd outlets and PTO. The only filter on the pumps is the screen leading into the pumps. The front filter by the radiator is multi-power only. Either way you will have to split the tractor. All parts are still avalable but the gear pump is a bit spendy.
Good Luck Merle

I had the same problem with my 1085. I had both hyd pumps rebuilt. Now it will slip sometimes if the hyd oil is low. If it is full of fluid, it works just fine. Roy
