Debris Forks

[drs5082]

I have debris forks from Titan Attchments on my L2501. I found that they are helpful 90% of the time so I started leaving them on. If the tractor sits for a day or two the loader "leaks down." I always put the bucket all the way down and try to make sure the forks are level on the ground. When I start it up and raise the bucket the forks seem to pull the bucket angle back down. My question is, is this bad for the hydraulics for the loader? Should I take them off everytime even though I use them almost daily? I'm not sure if this is bad for any seals or anything. Thanks in advance.

According to my extraordinarily limited knowledge, experience, and understanding... Doesn't matter what's connected to your FEL, BH or 3PH, etc... Gravity and time will always pull it down. No harm, just a minor annoyance.

You mentioned parking with the forks level on the ground. Try wiggling the joystick after shutting the engine off so there's no pressure on any of the lines and see if that makes any difference.

As long as you relieve the pressure, I don't see how leaving an attachment on could harm anything. We have a few very knowledgeable people on here and I'm sure they'll comment.

+1 what chim said...was thinking it before I got to his post.
It might not “fix” it, but definitely worth a shot....like he said, all pressure relieved, so that alone is a good thing.

When I do that on flat level ground, the tips always raise up.

Nope not at all.
