I have a single arm Ford loader. It has a single, one way cylinder. My tractor has a set of remote hydraulics (two connectors from one valve). I think, but don't know, that what I've got fits this question and answer meaning I've got the wrong valve for the job:
Q: Can I use a standard valve for a single-acting cylinder?
A: No. A standard valve does not permit oil to escape as the cylinder retracts. This trapped oil eventually causes a pressure overload. If you are converting to a single-acting cylinder, Tractor Supply stocks a Converta valve specifically designed for that purpose. >Note: The Converta valve does not have a loadcheck. Do not use this valve in a load-lifting system.
