on the farmalls, the hydraulic lever(s) work as such: (as seated driving the tractor)
centered is neutral/hold--the implement will stay where it is. push forward a little is momentary/feathered drop. to the first click forward is locked in drop. all the way forward is float--the implement will drop, also it can drop or raise further following ground contours without hydraulic resistance; a hydraulic motor would coast freely to a stop. back a little from the neutral/hold position is momentary/feathered raise, and all the way back is locked raise.
you should always hook up your lines so that forward is drop and back is raise, because if you accidentally put it in float the implement will immediately drop and cause a problem if you needed to raise in a panic situation. there is a float lockout, but i still prefer being in the habit of lift-back just in case.
also if you have a 3pt or fast hitch some manuals state that if it"s position/inner control lever is all the way to the bottom/forward of the quadrant the remote behavior will be slowed. if not using the 3pt/FH the draft/outer control lever should be all the way forward to HEAVY and the position/inner control lever should be all the way to the top or all the way lowered but not in the action control zone at the bottom--just before the offset in the quadrant.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
