It moves maybe 6" or so.The hydraulic fluid level is where it should be and I have changed the filter. Any ideas as to why this is happening?...

If your tract is to be logged, are you supposed to mark the 'take' trees or the 'leave' trees? Is there a certain color or does it vary a lot?

Do you favor using flagging or paint and what is most common? If paint, how do you mark it and do you just use a brush or what? TIA!
