M4 rear remotes leak down

[beal13]

What would be considered normal leak down for rear remotes on an M4? With the top and tilt hoses disconnected from the tractor I get no noticeable leak down. When hoses are connected to the rear remotes I’m seeing one leak down 3/4 inch and the other a half inch in about 30 minutes or so. I’m having to continually readjust when using the brush hog. I never had to on the mx6000 I had in the past so just trying to figure out if this is normal or excessive. Thank you!

Normal or not its what you have. The fix is putting a check valve on the cylinder(s).

Thanks for the information.

BTW - when I say check valve I mean a dual pilot operated check valve - AKA a cylinder lock valve.
