I recently had two rear remotes installed on my TC35D. I also had a tilt cylinder installed on the 3 pt. I find that over time (1/2 hour) a raised implement slowly extends the tilt cylinder about 1 inch (even when the engine is off and the tractor not moving). By disconnecting the quick remotes I have been able to prove that the tilt cylinder is NOT the problem. The mechanic has pretty much proven that the remote valves are not very tight, meaning that fluid will slowly leak past the valve when it is in the closed position. This is on the second set of new remotes (the first had the exact same problem). The mechanic states that NH is aware that the valves are not very tight. So my question is this:
Has anyone else with a TC35/40/45 and rear remotes experienced excessive leakdown through the valves? If you have rear remotes with a tilt cylinder, please try this test. Raise a heavy implement off the ground. Retract your tilt cylinder. Wait some brief period of time (1/2 hour) and measure if the cylinder has extended.
