Been moving a lot of dirt this past week - about 20 hours work - to install new irrigation pipe. When I park the tractor over night I curl the bucket and park it edge down. The next morning when I fire up if I happen to hit the down stick for down pressure. or back up forgetting to raise the bucket, the bucket will easily curl up due to the down pressure. Its like there is no pressure in the curl line. However once I operate the curl. everything is fine and bucket will resist the down, and back pressure of back dragging to level the dirt.

Is this a sign of something wearing out or needing adjustment. All fluids are full.

Thanks

You might have air in the cyl.

If you leave the lift arms raised fully and the bucket curled up, what is the condition in the morning/

No change - same issue. When I lifter arms bucket flopped down several inches. The moment I hit the curl, it firmed up and stayed firm.

It is just bleeding off a little overnight. Once you start using it its fine.
Does not sound like a problem to me.
