By detents, I mean that the valve when moved from the neutral (middle)
position, will stay in that position if moved a bit further. Most FEL
valves detent in the forward (boom down) position, but no other positions.
Otherwise, they just spring back to neutral if you let go of the handle.
My own rear AUX valve will detent in either of the two (non-neutral)
positions, and that is how I connect my backhoe. As for a hyd PHD, I
use those with a non-detented valve because I want quick control and
it only operates briefly before I need to re-position. Also, I do not HAVE
to use the detent on a DA valve if I do not need it.
