I recently purchased a 2210 w/ 210 Loader. I am very impressed with the machine but my question is "Should the loader seep down slowly if the tractor is at an idle?" If the rpms are up it does not. Is this normal? Thanks

No, this does not sound normal. Sounds like you make have a sticking SCV or a Joystick with sticking linkage. Check your joystick to make sure that it freely springs back to the centered position from all positions EXCEPT the float position. I had a similar problem with my 430 loader and it turned out to be the linkage in the joystick hanging up. I lubricated the linkages and it works great now. If the SCV is sticking, let the dealer handle that. ....

Most loaders leak down slowly--whether it's normal sort of depends on how much of an aggravation it is, and in JD's case what the factory standards are. The standards are aggravating to some people.
A dealer could say if the rate is something that could be repaired under warranty, but quite a bit of aggravation could be tolerated before a typical repair bill might seem like a good deal. As Chief mentioned, jiggling the linkage will sometimes centre the spools and cure various odd things. I did that quite a bit when I first got my used tractor but the odd workings mostly disappeared after I changed the oil. I don't have a joystick myself, but I think the linkages can use some lubrication sometimes.
It is curious why the leak down would be less at higher idle rpm. It sort of suggests the leak down is in the valves rather than the cylinder seals. I'm curious if the valve has one or two return lines. I could speculate if vibrations at very slow idles might be cracking the spools open a bit. I haven't heard of anything like that. If that were happening, then the leak--down should be less when the tractor is off.

I spoke with my JD dealer today and he said it was normal on the 2210 to get some seap unless kept at full throttle. I have been moving dirt with it all day and man is it slick. Thanks for the input. Trailmaker ....
