Hi,let's see if we can work together to get to the root of your problem! I will try my best to help!
Is it the boom settling? Does the bucket hold its position? Will the boom hold when using the loader? It has a leak down rate that is normal. but it is a very small amount in five minutes. If over an inch in five minutes, you could have a cylinder leaking internally, and will eventually get worse.
Customer
The Kubota people tell me that they have checked it and that the leak rate is within the normal range. My m7040 Kubota did not leak down at all, even when the tractor was parked in the shed and motor off
Is the tractor in warranty? Did they tell you what the leak down rate can be, and what your's was?
Customer
The Kubota people tell me that they have checked it and that the leak rate is within the normal range. My m 7040 Kubota did not leak down at all, even when parked in the shed with the motor off.
Customer
I did not think it should leak down at all with the motor running
It makes no difference if the engine is running or not, there is no makeup oil going to the cylinders unless you move the lift lever. So leakage can occur, engine running or not.
Customer
Thanks for your input. I just did not think the loader should leak down at any time.
Customer
I do not believe the leakage is over an inch in 5 minutes. I just knew that my other Kubota did not have any leakage.
Customer
Do you have any other suggestions for me?
Customer
Are still there?
You have the option of putting up with it, or resealing the bucket cylinders.

They have put all new cylinders on the loader, but it still leaks

Trying to connect with Curtis B.
So the cylinders did no good, then the control valve has internal leakage.
Customer
Ok. Thanks for your help
Thank you.
