I have a 2010 Mahindra 2525 with the same problem you described. Let me know what solves your problem. I suspect a check valve leaking, or the main cylinder is leaking.
Not what I expect with only 130 hours on it.

My 2010 Mahindra 2525 had severe leak down and was unstable when operating, jerking back up after bleeding down about 4 inches in a matter of seconds. I removed the seat and sheet metal and removed the isolation valve cover to expose the piston. I carefully pulled the piston out without disturbing the cylinder to reveal the piston seal was virtually rotted away, thus causing great leakage. Putting in a new seal has solved all problems. The hydraulic lift is now rock solid and does not bleed down when the tractor is off, and maintains perfect position when running. This was a relatively easy repair to make.
