Hi All, new to the forum... well, new to tractors. I just purchased a new 1026R this weekend with FEL, Backhoe, Mower, and Box Blade. I put the box blade on and after a couple hours of use, I noticed the box blade will not "hold" at the height, even with the lever blocked with the lever stop. In other words, if I put the lever at any given position... the implement begins to fall slowly (1/4 inch per second or so), then at about an inch of fall it "jumps" back up to position like the lever had been bumped. It repeats this cycle of fall down and jump back up.
Again, new to tractors... but I assume this is abnormal behavior. I cannot say for certain, but I do not believe it was doing this initially before the two hour mark.
I intend to call the dealer in the morning (over an hour away), but I thought I would post it here since this forum was so helpful when I was researching what to buy... and I fully accept the potential of a user issue here.
Thanks!
