I'll be interested in seeing the numbers too. I have a 3038e as well, but have noticed no unusual leak-down. While I don't leave the bucket up because I don't like leaving pressure on the system, I have left it up - even with a few hundred pounds in it - while I broke for lunch etc. and have never noticed any significant leakdown. That said, I do notice some roll-down when I'm carrying a full bucket of dirt for any distance. Candidly I have experienced the same thing on other tractors and makes in the past, but they were older units. My 3038 has just 200 hours and I would like to have it a little tighter. I do think JD has some engineering to do on that issue.
