In order to get down pressure, you need to have two way
hydraulics. You can do that on your H by plumbing one of the
outlet ports to a two way hyd spool that you can buy at your
local farm store or ordered from a catalog, sometimes called a
log splitter valve ( Northern Hydraulics). From that spool you run
two lines to your cylinder, one to the rod end and one to the
base end. You also have to run a return line from the spool to
the hydraulic resevoir. Most people just plumb that into the top
where you would fill the hyd system. As long as you are at it, you
could put 2, 3 or more spools on so you have more than one
hydraulic remote valve. You also have to lock the original
hydraulic control rod in the "on" position.
This isn"t as bad as it sounds and is a nice upgrade if you have
need of hydraulics. However, if you"re only using it for the three
point hitch, I wouldn"t bother. Just run the line from the
cylinders to one of the hydraulic ports on the pump. On the
other hand, the other thing that"s nice about having two way hyd
is that the hitch won"t float when you don"t want it to, like
pulling a wagon downhill- the wagon will push the hitch all the
way to the top. That could be scary!
