front bucket dropping overnight

if I leave my loader up two feet off the ground, the next day it will still be at the same spot. I guess there not all the same.

It's rare to have hydraulics that don't drift. Consider yourself in that minority.

Your right about that, the stabs on the hoe don't drop either

I missed an exciting thread.

I just wish RickB would hang around and be open to learning....it takes awhile for some people to grasp such concepts, rather than being close minded, stating his piece, and not coming back.

I have kept up with every response to this thread. Learning is accomplished by reading and listening, not by talking and posting. You have the option of putting me on your ignore list if you are offended by my participation.

I thought this was a good discussion and did not think Rick was out of line at all. All he did was share his experiences. I certainly was not offended by any comments.

I didn't think he was out of line at all. I wasnt offended or anything. That was not the intent of my post

There have been MANY of these threads that debate this...weather a cylinder can compress. Some people take a more explaining.

I know this has been explained a hundred different way.....and when I say I wish people would be more open to learning....part of that is asking questions so I can try to understand what inst being conveyed clearly. Rather than just make a post....disagreeing.....and then several people try to explain...hoping that something is being learned....

Then next time one of these threads come up....its rinse and repeat. And we hash it out all over again....with the same people.

I’ve been ‘hanging around’ here for 18 years. What qualifies you to comment on what I have learned? If I agree with you does that mean I have learned something?

 

[LD1]

If you agree with something that is true and factual that you previously disagreed with, then yes I'd say something was learned.

If I fill a glass completely full of water, then stick my finger in it, does it overflow?

Same thing applies to a compressing cylinder. Fluid has to go somewhere. Either an external leak such as with plumbing or thru the control valve.

True enough. However, that does not indicate that the control valve has failed or is out of spec. It also doesn't mean that someone experiencing cylinder drift will correct their problem with a new valve. A new valve could actually make the drift worse.
