[hernando]

I have a dk4510 ,, great tractor ,,the 3 point started jumping ,,,not bad but just like it will leak down a bit then catch up and raise ,,,this is all when it is running if you shut it of it will leak all the way to the ground....any ideas ?? Thanks for any help

After you put the hitch at the desired height,turn the lowering speed valve closed. See if it still leaks down , also make sure your hydro fluid at correct level (filled correctly) . Could be some internal valve ? My post will also bumped you back up others with more mechanical skills or familiar with your Yote i'am sure will respond with there ideas .

Sounds like warranty time. If it leaks down with the lowering-speed valve closed I'd suspect the piston seal is leaking or the MLS valve (or associated seals) is defective. Not something you'd want to DIY of you can get the dealer to do it free.

By the way. all these leak down but slowly (hours or days).

Call your dealer and talk with the service manager. The might come and pick it up or fix it there. If they pick it up and you cant do without ask for a loaner tractor while yours is being repaired.
