Hydraulic Cylinder Doesn't Fully Retract - Normal?

[ptsg]

It may be old, but I just got a sale from post #13.

Working as intended.

Hi All TBN-ers!

I recently put on a hydraulic side link to my Kioti CK2610. It appears that it doesn't fully retract based on the 'silver' reveal. My hydraulic top link does not have this problem. My question to the group: Is this normal? The pic you are looking at is "fully retracted". Can anyone give me guidance?

Thanks!View attachment 655669

Normal. You're thinking it should retract to the paint line and it does not.

Not normal. I bet the sway chain/turnbuckle is too tight. It happened to me. The tilt comes in really handy for my back blade. I can move a lot of dirt with it.
