Maybe a dumb question, I'm learning...searched but haven't found an answer. I'm adding an old Superior loader to an old Ford tractor, it uses single action cylinders. Supply line to spool valve, "t" out of spool to lines which run to cylinders. My question is, if these two lines running from the t aren't the same length, is it going to affect performance? The cylinders aren't synchronized any other way. My inclination is that it won't matter, but don't know. I'm mounting the spool on the inside of the fender, so one side is closer.
Please forgive my ignorance and thanks in advance!

No it won't matter. Fluid displaced is fluid displaced regardless of distance (Negating friction losses of course)
