448 BH parking issue

[Cidertom]

Greetings: When I dismount the bh I have the bucket flat as instructed, which produces the correct angle for remouning. Problem is that the hydraluics bleed down and the bucket curls allowing the unit to lean too far back. If I don't use the BH for a few weeks I have to back in and hook up hyd to reposition the bucket to be able to remount.

Any ideas? I think all the hyd leak down too much but this ones is a pain.

I had a JD 47 hoe that did the same thing,try dismounting with the bucket dumped not curled like deere show, that fix my prob.

I curl the bucket on mine all the way, but I put a block of wood underneath, when I drop the BH. This keeps the bucket off the concrete floor of the shed, and also provides the correct angle for remounting. Since it is fully curled, there is no bleed down problem.

I have the same problem with my 48 BH, I just pinch a short piece of 2x4 between the bucket links and the bottom of the dipper stick to prevent it from folding up to much, keeps the bucket in the correct position.
