Meaning the cylinders were not synched?
They have a rod connecting both that keeps them in synch, unless the bolt has been sheared off.
(see reply #2)

I’ll amend this - they are synched. When one is pushed in one direction the other moves back in the other direction. It has been that way since 2001 when I got the 4600.

I have had hoses last for many years after you see the outer reinforcement matrix. Old Kubotas for some reason. Then, I have had new hoses I bought develop cracks and leak in 3 years. Crappy rubber.

If your tractor sleeps outside, it is best to keep the sun off the hoses. UV and ozone both conspire to destroy rubber.

I am with the dealer: only replace when leaking.

Ok. I was just curious. My 4600 sits in my Pole barn so it doesn’t get the weather (other than the cold) and I use my hydraulic heater to warm everything up before I use it.

Thanks!

Can you post a pic of that, if we are talking about the tilt cylinders without the bucket attached? They both should extend together and retract together.

100% normal operation

Yes he's talking about the bucket off, and pushing one side manually.

Yes, that is what I was referring to. Thanks.
