If anybody in milling is around here I'd like some opinions about setting a mill down level at the end of the day.
For one, you get a good fluid levels check the next morning. (or night) For two, theres the possibility of a leg barrel giving in and the mill tipping over.
I was taught to relax the hydraulics as much as possible over night, this does not put as much pressure on the cylinders. I've also noticed if they are set down regularly the grade control systems tend to react better even if they aren't calibrated correctly or if they come out of whack.
Any comments Ideas are appreciated.
