My 2008 NT254, same thing, is 5' wide, 12.5' long with the FEL but no backhoe, and 7'0″ high including the canopy.

My tractor is a Jinma 254 so it's not just like yours, but look around for a return line to tank from your power steering. Do you have a FEL? If so it may also have a return line. Mine is hard line with banjo fitting at the sump but further upstream it changes to hoses and fittings in order to tie to the power steering and FEL. I tied my pressure relief return in there.
Len,
A FEL control valve left in the float position will cause the FEL to raise when pressure builds up anywhere else in the hydraulics, such as activating power steering or raising the 3PH. This is normal. Now, I doubt that you are accidentally leaving the FEL in float, but the same principle would probably result if your FEL valves were leaking, bypassing, basically bleeding from the work ports to the high pressure line. I am certain some of the other guys will have more details. I always put the FEL in float when I park my 254, and then most of the time remember to take it out of float after I shut it down. I have however on a number of occasions scratched my head when I go to raise the 3PH next time I start her up and nothing happens! Then I let off the 3PH and hear the FEL bucket fall back to the ground!! Duh, left the FEL in float.
Knowledge about Chinese tractors and dozers isn't the only way you can contribute to this site. I think Hal did an excellent job for someone who doesn't make a living doing web sites.
I also am with Tinbender. You sound like you could be of assistance, so I'll make you a deal.
I certainly don't like the rhetoric getting to the banishment point either, so you help Hal get the old posts on to this site, I'll mail you a check for $15.00

Ditto on the 10SI alternators! I replaced the OEM Chinese alternator on my NT254 with a 63A 10SI alternator from an '84 Chevy Camaro when I added several large lights and the OEM alternator couldn't handle them. Paid about $65 for a rebuilt unit at Advance auto. I am sure a junkyard unit would be even cheaper.
