Aces: No need to get upset about it. The hitch on my 1066 would go down in 2-3 days, as will a lot of other hydraulic implements and equipment. My 656 also would go down in a week or two. In my opinion they were both excellent working draft controlled hitches. About all I ever did with my 3 point hitches was plowing on semi-mount and 300 gal sprayer. I have never seen a hydraulic implement that wouldn't settle in time. I also owned some industrial equipment and dump trucks.

I can understand where you are coming from on customer requests. I have seen these guys around repair shops wanting a hydraulic that bypasses and leaks down in two weeks fixed. The same guy will be running a diesel with enough blow by to smoke a possum out of a hole, or some other such thing wrong.

You drive the country side on a rainy day, you'll see 8 bottom semi-mounts up on hydraulics, 46' cultivators, front end loaders, disk harrows all up in the air, then they wonder why the hydraulics bypass and leak down in time. Yes if the hitch was hicuping with tractor running fix it. But a hitch that leaks down in 2 days, no way. To me farming was about making money.
