Does yours not leak at all? That is, will it stay up overnight?

Our nearest IH dealer is about 50 miles. I've been intending to order
a manual from Bates.

You have a nested pair of springs for each sweep? Mine didn't look
like they would stay in the ground for heavy soil; the springs didn't
seem stiff enough to put enough force on the sweeps.

I've not adapted well to the hydraulic controls, they seem backward to
me.
