FEL hydraulics -- on my 790

[FordTruckGuy]

Quick question -- I notice that if I put my tractor in park with the loader up, after awhile the loader will drop flat to the ground. I thought this was also occuring while I was using the bush hog, but couldn't be sure if I just didn't hit the control with my leg.

In any case, would this suggest a problem with the hydraulics or the FEL generally?

Thanks.

It really depends how fast it is dropping. Most all CUT loaders suffer from some leakdown. There is a Deere spec that lists times for acceptable leakdown.
But in general, always drop the loader or implements to the ground when parked for safety reasons.
