B7610 3 pt losing pressure

[gl18rider]

Hi,
My 7610 is pretty young (~200hrs). The 3 pt is able to lift the rotary mower without a problem, but even w/o anything connected to it, over a few days sitting in the shop it will drop to the bottom of its travel.
I've searched around some and have seen references to an oil pressure piston?

Can someone shed some light on it or other potential problems?

Should I invest in a service or repair manual?
Thanks for any suggestions.

They all do that. Not a problem.

Hi,

Mine has about 1500 on it, bought used. I find when using the mower, it will require re-leveling every so often. My field is pretty rough and as it bounces around I find I have to pull it back up a bit every 30 minutes or so at least.

It would be nice if it were otherwise, but it isn't a horrible adventure to look over your shoulder and pull up the 3pt. I suspect it wasn't designed that way; maybe a product of that quarter-inching valve (which is great for an auger incidentally).
