Rear Remote Hydraulic Valves

[MtnViewRanch]

Relax Francis. Read the thread...we were talking about the L series. MtnView is correct as usual. And M Series tractors do instead have Self-canceling Detent Valve option...not offered for L Series. This is a valve where you can put the lever in the up or down position and it will stay there UNTIL the cylinder completes its cycle. Then the lever will return to neutral. It also will have the detent for float in it.

AGT, he is not talking about a self canceling detent valve which does as you describe, cancel and returns to the closed position once the cylinder reaches the end of it's stroke. (once there is a pressure spike) And only some of the self canceling valves include the float feature included.

He is talking about a detent valve that is designed to provide a constant flow for implements such as a log splitter or even a back hoe. Any implement that has it's own control valve-s mounted on the implement itself.

A simple detent type of valve while it can be used to control a cylinder, is not really designed to do so. It is designed and intended to be used as a supply source for hydraulic fluid. Sort of a power beyond source that does not have the fluid source plugged back into itself when not in use. Most do not spring back to the closed position when pulled out of the detent position, but have to be manually put in place.

Wouldn't a self canceling detent valve work for a log splitter too? It would drive the splitter to the end of the piston stroke (splitting the wood), then reset. I don't know...never used one.

And Brian of Fit Rite, totally enjoyed talking today. WOW. I could never get that kind of knowledge and help from Kubota about their Top And Tilt or rear valves. Heck, I spoke to 3 dealers, and no one even knew what a float detent valve was! THANK YOU! SUPER SUPPORT.
