My loader valve curl sticks as well, not a huge deal now that I'm aware of it, but sometimes i have to push it back to center. talked to the service manager and he of course had never heard of it. It seems to be worse when there's weight in the bucket and I'm curling it back.

I also have the strange noise that seems to emanate from the HST when going over uneven terrain. Glad that it doesn't seem to be an issue with just my machine, and that it's just the noise these make.

Sticky loader valve here as well from time to time. Had similar issues with the rear remote valves/levers, but the dealer fixed that when I took it in because one of the leaky rear valves.

If your hst is making noise just make sure that you are not forcing it in high range when you should be in mid range. Mind makes a bit of noise when I am not in the right range and I make sure I switch it because that is hard on the hydro pump etc.

I know the noise you mean but it's a different sound, hard to describe though. It's not even when you're lugging or working the engine that it seems to do it. More so when you're on uneven terrain and the tractor is pitching side to side.

I have noticed a noise when traveling over uneven ground, not load or RPM related with my L6060 cab model. From my years of troubleshooting Noise Vibration Harshness problems on vehicles, I am pretty sure it is a grounding issue. Grounding meaning that the iso mounted cab is making contact with a vibrating component, I just haven't found it yet.

I just came in from ploughing snow and I think you're right, that is what it puts me in mind of. I wonder if it's all machines.

^. Great thread with good info.

I have a L 3560 and two rear remote valves and the joystick mounted remote for my grapple which I use allot. I had one rear remote installed with the float function as I thought I would like to let my 3 point disk float. I bought a cylinder and hoses set-up, without the check valve, before they delivered my Kubota......and I needed to get a plot ready.....so I used my old 3320 JD and the rear remote on that tractor as they are both pioneer type couplers.

I didn't think that floating my disk improved things at all.....in fact I didn't like it as well as the solid mount.....but on my Deere the cylinder would stay put (when the valve was out of the float position) and it did not drift. Fast forward. to disking with the Kubota.....and the disk performed like the same (I liked it to be rigid over float) but now the cylinder would work to new settings with each minute due to the leaky valve. It also would change positions allot when using my landscape rake to grade the road.......a bit annoying.

Next.....I installed the PATS EZ Change to my telescoping drag links as I do change implements allot and it goes so much easier with the PAT's. Now my top link cylinder was too short......so I ordered a new cylinder with the check valve installed. End of the drifting issue for me. Tho.....not sure what good the float feature is on the tractor valve. The combination of the Pat's EZ Change with the telescoping drag links and a hydraulic top link makes hook-ups and adjustments a breeze.

The primary purpose of me wanting two rear remotes.....is to operate my stump grinder without having to jerry-rig the hoses to the loader joystick as I used to do on my old Deere. Not many stumps to grind anymore.....but it's now easier to hook up. I do like the hydraulic top link now that I have resolved the drifting issue. I am considering adapting my landscape rake to pivot via a cylinder.....if I get a round tuit.
