Hrdraulic toplink

Farmert22 · Feb 23, 2015

Hey everybody I bought a hyrdaulic toplink with the anti creep valve and when i lift its fine but when it retracts it make a squeaking noise and is kind of jerky. It this because of the creep valve or it just need seals to be broke in? I cycled the valve a bunch of times to try and bleed air out of it but it still does it. Its working fine but just curious about this?

My top link with check valves is smooth as silk, and no noise. I think you've a funky check valve.

Whats the benefit to the check valve? I know they supposedly stop creep but I wouldnt think it would really creep that much. Opinion?

With a load on the top link oil can leak past the spool on the directional valve on tractor. How much the link moves deends on factors like load, oil temperature, directional valve quality / leakage rate. The check valves prevent this from happening.
