A used one might not be any better than what you have, rebuild yours and you will know what you have. It might only be the relief valves are bad on your hydro, just guessing here, has happened before on R52, and think my R 65 is a little weak also.
Edit ::north MO mud and either 24.5x32 or 30.5x32 rice tires will try those hydro's out if
in to fast a gear on the tranny, 2nd usually, sometimes 1st to get out of a tough spot here.
I have heard many tales about Missouri Mud. :)
dad knew a old Allis Dealer out of MO, and I think a custom cutter he also knew did business with this dealer. Many a blind eye were turned to hydro mods for more PSI on some N7s back in the day. :) Same dealer sold a F3 so tired up it had to run a 15 foot head just to cover the wheel tracks. 18.4x26 on the RWA Floater tires up front.
That same dealer gave us the best piece of advice he had about mud: Wheel speed. :) sinking? more hydro. It works, was like a speedboat getting up on plane, more speed and she came up 6 inches. That was on a muddy corn harvest years ago, we were the only ones able to run.
I might be putting that advice to work this summer. Getting the L2 and L3 ready for harvest, not putting much effort into the R60, about 6-8000 lbs lighter.
