If you lift a heavy attachment, like the mower for example, to full height and turn the engine off, how long does it take for the hydraulics to leak down and for the mower to settle to the ground?
I originally wanted to build a platform I could use with the fork lift attachment when working on my deck. This would be convenient as the ground is rough and it’s a hassle to keep setting up a ladder. However, I’ve found that the hydraulics leak down, with the engine off, so fast that this approach is impractical. I estimate it only takes ten to fifteen minutes for the mower to settle down (I will measure it to be more exact).
A neighbor has a Boomer next door with a rear finish mower. I’ve noticed that the mower will take several days to settle down.
