    Farm tractors with a narrow front end (tires close together) naturally steer harder than a tractor with a wide front end with wide wheels and tires for more floatation.

    If you can not find the hydraulic system dip-stick can a New Holland Dealer as Ford owned New Holland for a few years.

    Follow the hydralic line up to the box on the thing for adding fluid. It's hard to overfill them so I wouldn't worry about that too much. Good luck!
