Have a hydraulic issue on my ZD28 mower . At low revs and with deck lifted I don’t have enough hyd pressure for drive motors. If I increase revs or drop the deck down it works fine.

When I turn the motor off the deck drops on its own even with lift lever in up position . My working theory is a valve to the deck lift ram is not closing so using all pressure to keep deck up so not enough for drive motors at low revs.

Any feedback on this theory and if so which valve it might be?

Go over the WSM, it should cover the hydraulic system pretty well.
