My l4400 3 point lift bounces when I raise mow deck. Makes it difficult to mow if you can imagine that. Rest of hydraulics function properly. Yes, it is a front loader. The front loader does not bounce with a load.. any suggestions?

Check the adjustment on the position control feedback linkage.

If thats correct and its still "bouncing" I would suspect bad seals on the 3pt lift cylinder.

Considering the condition we found the loader cylinders, I figured as much . Is the 3 point cylinder accessed from the top?

Do some Googling. A bunch of that series had jerky three point hitches. Kubota cheaped out allegedly to make plain Jane tractors more affordable. That was when they began eliminating the fender mounted starboard grab handles and covering the bolt holes with stickers. 🥴

Edited cause I cunnit spel rite
