Top N Tilt Bleed down

[CapnDean]

My L6060 top n tilt cylinder bleeds down. Nothing else on my machine bleeds down. I have to constantly bump up on the tilt (not the top link) when bush hogging.

Come to think of it.... I haven't ever really needed the tilt feature anyway.....does anybody have a leveling box that they are using?

The internal seal on the cylinder is probably leaking. A rebuild should take care of it.

What rate or how fast does it bleed down?

I would be surprised to find a cylinder that doesn’t bleed down. It all depends on the rate of bleed down that makes it a problem or not

Either the cylinder seal or (more likely) the remote valve for that function is leaking.

Kubota is not known for remote valves that do not leak down.

I've noticed the tilt ram on my new l2501 also does that with only the quick attach hooked up..

Maybe a inch or so overnight.. I dont really check it but notice it's also at a angle

That or I manage to rub on the valve lever when I get on and off the seat or when I'm operating it ..

Plan to bend them at a angle twords the fender and make some bolt on extensions..

Also want to do that to the L M H speed adjustment lever and it digs into my leg in low..
