Hydraulic motor on straw spreader

[goodevans]

Is it possible that a hydraulic motor can become lazy,the reason being that I have a kv straw spreader that the bed chain stops and starts.The control box and solenoids have been eliminated as I have plumbed motor straight in to spare spool valve

Yes they can become "lazy" and the performance decreases as the hyd oil gets warmer. Most orbital motors are repairable so you would be looking at replacing it.

Is the bed chain/sprockets running free?

Yes they move freely

I have same bother with conveyor motor on my tub mixer, do a different job with tractor, like a few hours on slurry stirrer and it runs faster. Not just that day but for quiet a few days [emoji848]

That doesnt make sense? Must be tractor the problem not the feeder

Would imagine as they wear they will be less effective. Do you jave another tractor with larger oil flow to try it on to see how it works then?

 

[goodevans]

I'm pretty sure the tractor is up to it

Ok well time to start on the motor then

The seals can go on motors.

The seals can go on motors.

Sounds like I had better get it pressure tested then ,are they repairable

when our spreader slowed down i swapped the male end for new first that cured it.

As above. Before you get too keen, consider changing the Male ends of the the couplings as the tits wear quite a bit with that thumping of the bed motor. If on an old tractor also consider changing the female ones too.

I have tried that

On a T6 145

I'd be inclined to take @Mr Happy advice. Always spot on

Get a new motor and save the old motor for the swivel.

 

[milkloss]

Be interested to know what a new motor is. One for a lucas g is about £1200!

Why bother as you have already operated the motor using the tractor hydraulics and you still have the same fault. I doubt new seals will improve the performance of the motor. I would identify the part number of the faulty motor and get some prices of a new unit.

In for a shock in the morning by the sounds of it,thanks for all the replies
