How to plumb a 3 pt hitch on an H

Posted by Dave in CT on July 15, 2005 at 15:57:56 from (4.245.218.213):

Started the 3 point hitch project. Mounted one that was built for either an H or an M - 220 pounds for the frame alone - guess I won't be needing that second set of wheel weights.

This hitch was built to take 2 hydraulic cylinders - I would imagine the standard 3" x 8" ag cylinders. From what I've read so far, most people put breathers on double-action cylinders as down-pressure is widely regarded as not needed. I hear it's a good idea to put a flow control valve set to restrict the return flow as to allow for a controlled drop of the implement. Does one plumb a single line from either of the high-pressure ports on the lift-all to a control valve and then two lines from that control valve to the two cylinders? If so, what type of control valve? Does the fluid return through the control valve to the resevoir or does one need to handle that seperately?

Anyone have a schematic for a similar setup?
