Current Kubota B-series - issues with rear remote leak downs?

[Tinhack]

Am I better off forgetting about hydraulic top/side links altogether??

Buy cylinders with the check valves installed or buy the check valve kits and install on your cylinders.

If you want a 3ph mower to float, use a stirrup link on the top link. I have a quick hitch and use the stirrup on the top link between the top cylinder and QH. No matter where I set the cylinder, the QH is able to float when mowing. Or any attachment is able to float too.

I looked but I guess I don't have a picture of the set up.

The ball valves like beezfun installed can be left open when making frequent adjustments they only need to be closed when you want to lock the cylinder in position for extended periods of time. No need to open and close when making frequent adjustments

I added these ball valves to my remotes, they only cost about $15 and solved the same problem you're having. I used surplus center valves that also leak down fast. I use float on the top link when I bush hog. So if I want to use a remote I open the ball and leave it that way until I'm doing something where I don't want it to leak down, then I close it.

I looked online for valves like this but the only 'mini' ball valves I found were for water lines. Where can I find some that are rated for higher pressure hydraulic lines? Thnks

I found the best way not to worry about it is after I get the tractor going I activate both the top and tilt cylinders fully to charge them for what might have leaked by between tractor use. Hasn't cost me a dime other then the time.

I got mine at local hydraulic shop. I described my problem and he suggested these. They were only $15, cheapest thing I ever bought at a hydraulics place.
