new but out of warranty l5740. 115hrs. Front bucket bleeds down to quickly. Has the Kubota front loader with a wr long 4n1 bucket. Everything works fine, seems to have plenty of power, no fluid leaks that I can find. The loader will hold its position without any bleed down at all...for days. However, the tilt on the bucket will bleed down. Its slow enough that you can't see it, but within a hr it will rotate 45degs. Flat/level position to the edge of the bucket pointing straight down. Same with or without the tractor running, but faster with material in the bucket.

No issues with the rear hydraulics - They will hold a bushhog 296 for days without any bleed down.

Its not a huge deal, but from owning a l3410 and l3940 I have never had this issue before and this is a new issue I have gradually noticed while mowing this summer by having to repeatedly rotate the bucket back up.

Thanks for your ideas to check.
