[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6394334, member: 718"] If its a Tiger6 then the external services oil comes from the gearbox. The three point linkage is self contained and has a separate reservoir and pump. It is a simple gear pump and really should be adequate at 60 litres a minute max flow. Beware that the JD 3050 and most other 40 and 50 series tractors will have LESS oil flow than the Tiger and the flow will be further reduced when you turn the steering. If the Tiger's gear pump is worn or it is fitted with a 45lpm gear pump, it might be possible to fairly cheaply upgrade to a higher flow pump. I'm not entirely sure about that on the Tiger, because its pump is mounted at the front of the engine if I remember correctly, while Laser models have it on the side of the gearbox. Have you actually checked the flow and pressure of the pump? Given it a proper health check rather than guess? Have you cleaned the filters, including the big canister and changed the spin-on one? Tiger really is getting on a bit in age. Nearly 40 years of age for goodness' sake! It's a wonder that it hasn't been eaten up by oxides or recycled by now. Also, it is underpowered for this job. You need 150hp approx. Something far bigger and more powerful than a poor little antique Tiger. If you can justify a wagon that size then you will have to justify a matching tractor and fuel to run it, plus the inevitable maintenance/repair costs of both items. [/QUOTE]
