Today while using my Kubota plow I noticed that the moldboard was moving around a lot. I raised the plow and pushed on one end, and found that it had about a foot of deflection in each direction. It appears that the cylinder isn't holding the plow in the position that I set it at. The blade is about 4 years old and hasn't seen much use. Is the cylinder worn out or does it have an internal defect?

hmm, maybe the control valve is busted ??or somehow 'magically' bypassed ??
how easy is it to move......
hmm, wondering WHERE the oil goes...?

I can't see a DA cylinder wearing out after 3-4 seasons of use...
