300cx Loader leaking down when tractor is shut off? I am getting ready to buy a new tractor 3120 and want to be sure there is no probems with the loader. I saw some posts here already about this problem and I am not sure I want to get a Deere if there is no solution.
How many are having a problem with this

I have a 3320 w/300cx. Raised my 21' powerboat to drain the water out and left it under load (motor shut off) for about an hour. No leak down here!

All loaders will settle. This is the nature of spool valves.

Deere3120 : To some extent any loader will leak down over time. It is generally considered acceptable to leak down very slowly (over several hours). I believe Deere actually measures the amount of leakdown, but if you can't see it leak down while you watch it, it is probably within acceptable limits.
BobCurry : Just a thought, but with your 21' boat, why was there water IN the boat? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have the 300cx on a 990 and I have not had any problems with it leaking down. I stuck one of my 4wheelers on the front of my trailer and sat the bucket down real close to it and drove on a bumpy dirt road for 10+ miles both ways and it didn't leak down a bit.

Bob S,
Living in the FL panhandle makes for some interesting ways to take care of your boats in hurricane season! I let the nose down to fill the bilge up with water. After the hurricane thunderstorms/feederbands move thru, I raise the nose with the bucket and let her flush out. Only takes about an hour with that small drain hole!

Tomorrow I will post a picture my boat's (was my G-Paws) solution to water problems - Mississippi river style.
