I posted on here about 2 months ago about my hydraulic on my 851 Power-master. With all the feedback I was able to repair the hydraulic cylinder and replace the o-ring. Since all that work, another problem has come into the open...
Now when running my 5 foot bush hog and a 5 foot box blade, I have issues with the hydraulics holding the load elevated. I can set the height where I want it to cut, and in roughly 10 minutes it has bled down. I have to raise the control lever all the way up just to hold it but have to hit the drift control to raise from that point. If I lower the lever first, then I can raise it without the drift control. I can raise either then cut off the motor and it will hold forever. I am thinking it may be a bad flow valve or bypass.
Please help, Im about to sell it just to get rid of the hydraulic headaches....
