I'm having trouble with the reel lift cylinders. You can raise it full up to even them out but often after you get it positioned the left side collapses over time. Do I need to reseal the cylinders?

Make double sure the fittings are tight. Doesn’t take much of a leak for them to bleed off. Found that on ours last week. It was the left side also.

Further investigation.....master on rt,slave on left. Left side sinks. Raised a bit and cracked bleeder. Nothing but oil however I didn't go crazy because didn't want the mess. I'm thinking no air in system but could be wrong. Left slave isn't leaking externally. If it was internal wouldn't it have have to leak out the top seal? I believe the problem is in the master cylinder leaking internally. Guess I'll pick up a seal kit and give it a try. Parked it fully Raised last night and will see how cockeyed it is this evening. Anyone think I'm on the right track?

You’re correct on the left and right but if the right was leaking ,wouldn’t they both creep down? Maybe I have it wrong.

Just got home and looked. Left (slave) is around 7in rod sticking out and rt (master) is like 11in sticking out. So...obviously the fluid is leaving the slave. It is dry externally. It must be leaking through master but it also must be going back through poppet valve on the combine NO? Maybe reseal the master will fix it? Wifey picked up seal kit today just got to find the time.
