[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1635087, member: 26138"] I suspect in your case there is something just a little different in the way the cylinders are plumbed, one hose just a little longer, one cylinder that leaks a little more than the other, etc. When empty it's not a big deal, but when full of water it is just enough to upset the roller and let the water move to one side. Ideally you'd want two equal length hoses to the back of the roller, to T fittings, and then equal length hoses to each cylinder. The restrictor fittings work by restricting the flow enough to force excess fluid through the relief valve in the tractor, creating constant equal pressure in the whole system. Without it, on some tractors the hoses and fittings can flow more than the pump can produce, and max pressure is not reached until one or both cylinders hits bottom. [/QUOTE]
