B8200 3 point hitch question

[twiggly49]

I recently purchased a B8200.I changed all the fluids when I got it,along with cleaning or replacing filters.Yesterday when I raised the 3 point hitch it responded slowly and jerked coming up.Fluid level is fine.I took the lift arms off and the top link in case something was binding but no improvement.Ideas? Thanks

I would guess your pump is not delivering a good solid oil flow. Is this new?

You said you cleaned the filters. Did this include the hydraulics strainer ?

You could have air in the system, which hasn't purged yet. Raise and lower it a number of times, and see if it improves.

No.It has 850 hours on it.Any way to be sure it's the pump? Thanks

Careful - I did not say it was the pump - just a problem with oil delivery. Could be a clogged strainer starving the pump or a vacuum leak in the line from when you had it apart.
