   We have John Deere 2500 reels drift down during transport. First it was back reel now all three. Any suggestions?

   We have had this issue with our 2500's and when the back starts dropping its usually the rear lift cylinder that needs a seal kit. But seeing as how all your reels are dropping I would first cap the hydro lines going to the front lift cylinder and see if the back reel still drops if it does I would put a seal kit in it. If it doesn't drop move the caps to the rear cylinder hydro line and see if the front reels drop, if they do its the front cylinder that needs a seal kit. If both drop then it could possible be the valve block but I have yet to personally see that.

   ours did the same thing, since they were all going down thought it was a valve or a solenoid or something that was connected to both front and rear lift lines,,
   
   couldn't figure it out, so we did a seal repair kit to the rear cylinder, and low and behold it fixed all reels from dropping!
   
   hope this helps
