Kubota L48TLB
I've noticed a bit of slow drift in both my loader
motions (lift & roll) as well as backhoe boom, dip,
and curl. I don't recall seeing this when I took
delivery about a year ago, but then again I'm in
the habit of parking the bucket and hoe on the
ground if the tractor will be idle for any length
of time.

I realize some drift is unavoidable, however I was
curious what others have found to be common.
One area dealer mentioned something like 1/4" per
2 hours is Kubota's limit (presumably for linear)
cylinder drift. Don't know what test conditions
qualify the above but this info is reportedly in the
workshop manual which unfortunately isn't handy
at the moment.
