Also will this power both ways on the cylinder or just one way and let the weight of the implement push the cylinder rod back in? Yes, you need a separate two-way valve to run a two-way cylinder, and leave the M's lever pulled back at all times. This will power the cylinder both ways. What you are doing is building a two-way system on top of the M's one-way system. More modern tractors do basically the same thing, except it's all done under the covers, without the one-way valve.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Yes, it can. The valve lever needs a third position called "float". It is found with the lever all the way forward or back depending on how it is mounted on your tractor. Float connects all four ports together. This means that there is no energy in the hydraulic system except the potential energy of an elevated load or compressed spring. It quickly disappears when the rod is fully retracted.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
