John: I think Paul has it nailed. Often times this problem can cause the resovoir to over fill and belch the fluid out on the ground. Probably not bad on a tractor.

Truck dump hoists will do this, some of those big telescoping cylinders on trailers often have as much fluid left in the cylinder, when completely down, as there is in the resovoir. If you leave it in the down position it will all drain back. Those have air bleeders on top end of cylinder. Most have a spring loaded down position, making it such, that you must hold it in that position. Dump trucks can belch out 5+ gallons of oil if this is forgotten.
