So I went to this idea instead.

Since the lock valve is intended to prevent downward movement of the 3pt, and with no intent to dispute what you say, are you sure there's no check valve, etc. in the system that would allow the 3pt to raise when the valve is closed.
I suppose I could check it out for myself by closing the valve and trying to lift the 3pt, but not sure I want to risk the pump doing it.
