Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The most common setups just put a breather on the second port of each cylinder and let the weight of the implement bring the hitch down. I've read accounts where folks eventually want the down pressure so I'm looking for a way to get it plumbed that way from the start. I'll post my solution here. As to which port, you can use either front port, or both, for lifting the hitch. The third, rear port on the clutch-pedal side is for a delayed lift of the rear of the implement. It kicks in after the forward ports have reached top pressure. Unless you are using an implement that would require the back end to be lifted after the front, you can just leave that rear port capped. I think the most common way folks plumb their hitches is to run one line from either forward port back to a T located near the back end of the trans cover plate. From that T, two hoses go to your two cylinders. They do it this way to leave the other port available for other hydraulic applications, such as a front loader or, in my case, a front snow plow blade. I've also heard of setups that just run a hose from each of the two forward ports to each of the hitch cylinders. Whatever you do, I'd recommend getting those hoses well mounted with a good abrasion-resistant bracket and cover the area that runs by your feet with some sort of metal shield. You don't want to wind up with an amputated foot or foreleg because of a pinhole leak that develops years down the road. There's a hose shield pictured this way in the H Operator's manual so they probably can be gotten from the boneyards.

Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts?
