We have never repaired our used B7100 since we got it 10 years ago. The hydraulics are not leaking but when any thing is attached to the 3 point hitch and raised to the max, the 3 point hitch slowly goes down and the implement never stays in one spot. What is the problem???

The problem is a leaking valve or rings/seals on the lift cylinder.

But Reading your other thread I would do a complete drain and filter change before you do anything else, old hydraulic fluid can do a lot of strange things.

If it's an HST (pedal drive) use UDT fluid when you change it, not normal over the counter hydraulic fluid.
If it's a DT (gear shift) then to you can get away with any compatible hydraulic fluid.
