tractor side or baler side causing this?

OK, I have a question and I'm not sure if it is the tractors fault or the baler. When hooked to the Kubota the bale thrower is hooked into the hydraulics to control left to right for placing the bales where you need them. It worked fine hooked to the old Ford 7710-II and the TN65. But ever since it's been hooked to the Kubota the thrower drifts to the plunger side and has even locked up maxed out to that direction. I've hooked up to the second set of remotes and it does the same thing. So does it dislike the bota or is it possibly a issue with the hydraulic cylinder that just happened to manifest itself to make me go crazy?

Sounds like a bad seal on the rod... I would try hooking the tractor up to something else that has a cylinder to lift it and see if it drifts down...

Reverse the hoses at the tractor hookup and see if it drifts the other way.

I'll 2nd what Rick stated or you could get a hyd gauge,plug it into remote and see if pressure rises on it's own while engine is running.
