He confirms the tractor reads around 2000 PSI, within the 3000 PSI-rated gauge's range, and concludes no shimming is needed. Useful mainly for B2601 owners troubleshooting weak hydraulic/loader performance.
Posted by the Trevor K channel, an owner sharing a real diagnostic test on his own tractor rather than a dealer presentation.
Connect a pressure gauge and check the reading at idle around 1000 RPM, then again at PTO speed, comparing against the relief valve spec.
On this two-year-old B2601, the reading was about 2000 PSI at both idle and PTO speed, within spec on a gauge rated to 3000 PSI.
No, the owner concluded that since the reading was in spec at about 2000 PSI, shimming was not necessary.
