Hello all,
Owning a machine such as this brand will force me to learn about hydraulics, which is all good... Please bear with me!
My 1st lesson (to receive) is about hydraulic connections to non-PT implements with a cylinder. (Connector compatibility aside/assumed; this will apply to at least two implements for me.)
The implement has 1/2" lines, with one marked for flow direction.
Thank-you in advance,

- Is flow direction important? (I didn't think it was for cylinders...) If it is, how do I identify flow direction on the aux. pto lines?
- What is the best (non-exotic/expensive) method for connecting the 1/4" aux. pto lines to the 1/2" implement lines? (I have thought of several solutions, but they are non-educated guesses on my part...)
Thank-you in advance,
