Lots of threads on this topic on this site. Probably you have assisted steering, not hydrostatic, which we all have became accustom to. Cheap fix is put 3 rib tyre on front and go weight training. Other option is to switch assist steering unit with a new hydro unit.
 
Change P/S oil and clean or replace filter,depending on which is fitted. Use ATF oil. Only half fill tank.
 
ill start with the service on it, it has flotation tyres on the front, they look good i think, but if theyre not helping ill have to find some original wheels.

UR1 power steering is very heavy when a too viscous oil is being used. It should have hydraulic oil 22 (very thin, hard to find) or ATF II automatic transmission type fluid. I dont know about the C385, its a decade ago that we sold it.
