Are you referring to open center hyd system, which uses either open center valves, or tandem valves, where the pump fluid is flowing all the time. .
Closed center hyd systems, use closed center valves, where there is no flow until the lever is activated..
Ok, thankyou I guess I just didn't read your previous post correctly. I shall read the posts instead of just looking at the words:ashamed:
Now back to some other previous posts! Brian you said you had a valve you were able to price me? I am interested in seeing what you have. Running a cylinder on a grapple will probably be the #1 use and also the tilt on a snow blade. I just don't want to leave myself high and dry if I were wanting to run an auger.
Right now I run an auger from the pto, and i've built a bit for it that I use to mix saw dust and wood chips into the ground in order to plant trees. I don't know if I will ever replace doing it from the pto to up front on hydraulic but just trying to get enough info to know what my options really are.
Just slow the auger speed slowly until it stops turning, and release the lever to neutral.
