Return hose for rear detent valve?
Buying my first tractor a Bobcat CT2025 (Kioti CK2610). I am having a pair of remote hydraulic valves added, a spring and a detent.
Hydraulics are a whole new animal to me. I have borrowed family tractors, but just ran them without paying too much attention to anything.
In reading on the board I believe there is a risk with activating the lever for the detent valve when nothing is attached and this leading to heat buildup and potential pump damage. The spring valve does not have this concern. A solution is to just run a short loop of hydraulic hose so if the detent valve lever is accidentally pushed, the hydraulics just flow. Please correct any of this I have wrong.
Assuming a loop would be a good protection feature, what do I need? Length, diameter, couplings on end? Any reason not to get a cheap version off Amazon or at Tractor Supply? (I am assuming if I ask the Bobcat Dealer to make one up, it will be more expensive).
Appreciate your shared knowledge.
Edited title as unsure if detent valve is float
