I've always used a set of chains to keep my height the same on my tractors with the 1/4 inching valve. There is a bracket that that attaches along side the lower 3pt arms on the implement pin and a chain going up to the pin that holds the toplink to the tractor. At the toplink mount there are two more brackets that have a hole big enough for the chain to go through and a slot to slide the chain down in. That way once you get your initial height set... you can raise and lower as much as you want and it will go down to the same spot every time. Still a bit more work than position control but it achieves the same thing and it also takes the stress off the hydraulics and avoids "dropping down" as all 3 point hitches will do after a while... new tractor or not!
Thanks for the suggestion, do you have any pictures of your setup; clevis, bolt, hook method of attachment?
