Well, we could use more info I guess. Funny
goof on your part tho, keep a sense of humor
about it. :)

Any big temp changes (cold weather = slow
hyd fall)?

How long have you had the tractor (if you
owned it a week, then you just aren't familiar
with it & there is no problem - if you owned it 5
years & first time it's done this, then you are
right to wonder about it?)?

Have you done any changes to the tractor?
(new oil, split it, put a very heavy load on the
3-point, etc.)

Most all 3-points drop with the engine off & a
load on the arms. Most that are not wore out
hold the 3-point arms up with no load on
them. Could you explain better what you mean
by it dropping with the motor off? What
conditions are we talking about here? That
part is really unclear, is your problem always
with the engine off, or did you used to have a
problem with the engine off, & now you have a
problem with the engine running? I don't quite
follow...

And so on.

Gravity-based hydraulic dropping is _very_
dependent upon oil temperature - when it is
around zero my 960 Ford the empty 3-point
will raise all the way up with the engine on due
to cold oil, while in summer when I've been
working it hard when I shut the engine off it will
drop in an hour or less due to thin fluid &
loose seals.

So it kinda sounds like you have a new tractor
& just are not familiar with it, but if I say that
you might rip my head off here....

So, I'll just ask for more info on your problem?
:)
