RK24 Three Point Dropping

[Florida2610D]

Anybody figured out how to prevent the three point from dropping during operation? In the sandy Florida soil I keep most the weight off my finish mower wheels but the three point won't stay in one position for more than 15 minutes.

I looked at the RKTractors website and they show the 60" finish mower matched to the RTK37. Are you saying the mower drops when maintaining the constant PTO rpms? I can see the weight of the mower pulling the 3 point down if you are allowing the rpm's to drop down causing a drop in hydraulic pressure. One other thought is maybe running from a grassy area through sand where the weight of the mower causes the rear tires to sink down, That wouldn't be the mower dropping down in relation to the tractor but the whole unit dropping.

I mow with a 72" king cutter rotary mower which weighs like 650 pounds or so. I guess I havent noticed mine dropping under power. Now when I shut it down, it bleeds off pretty quickly.

I have had my older tractor 3pt stay up for over a week and not leak down.
