It could be that there is a restrictor in the pressure line that keeps the tractor hydraulics from launching the blade into orbit when it's lifted. This restrictor has the effect of making the blade drop VERY slowly because there's no pressure to force the fluid through the tiny hole.

A one-way cylinder is just a two-way cylinder with one of the hoses removed. If you traded, you'd be trading like-for-like. Back in the day, there were such things as one-way cylinders that were not designed to handle pressure on one side, but that's not the case anymore.

Just make sure the "down" hose is not capped off. If it is, remove the cap and drill a hole in it to make a vent, or buy a vent plug to replace it with.

Look at all the elbows in the pressure line. Take them apart and see if they're completely open. If one has a tiny hole, that's what is causing your problem.
