Last night I parked the tractor, left the FEL about 1-1.5' off the ground, and locked the joystick in place. Since we had been working on the perimeter fence, I left one 8.5' x 3.5" steel pipe loaded on the pallet forks. Probably 85-95lbs of weight, plus the 230-245lbs worth of pallet fork weight. Just now this morning I go out and the forks are resting on the ground. Is it normal for the FEL to leak down that much overnight? Tractor is an MT242 premium w the LL3003 loader. Tractor was parked about 4pm, and this morning I saw it at 930a.
I read some other threads asking the same thing about their tractors and the consensus in those was that much wasn't normal. I'm fixing to call the dealer and inquire. Right now is not the time I can have it sitting at the dealer, I'm using it. But I'm looking for direction from this point for when I can, if needed. It is under warranty.
