I am building a fence post driver for my tractor. I am pretty green on hooking up the hydraulics. I have three cylinders. One to lift the driver weight, and two for lateral leveling (fore/aft and side/side) The tractor that I am using is a Case 1070 with two remotes. The levers inside the cab are spring loaded to return to a neutral position when not in use.
My questions are;
1. Can I bungee the cab lever to provide a source of hydraulic pressure to the driver which then has it's own control valves to operate the three cylinders?
2. I have seen commecial drivers work and the operator pulls a control valve lever which operates the lift cylinder mechanism and when the operator lets go of the control the cylinder "free falls" back to the retracted position. If I have the cab control bungeed open, will I still be able to do the same also?
3. I am confused as to the difference between double and single acting cylinders. I would assume I think that I need a single acting cylinder for the lift cylinder. What about the other two position cylinders?
4. I am also confused about what type of control valve to buy to allow me to operate the three cylinders off the tractor.
Yes I am totally green when it comes to hydraulics and if someone would be so kind as to perhaps draw me a schematic I would be well on my way to fence post driving nirvana! :) I will post pictures for the board when I am finished with the construction. Thanks in advance for any help and if someone needs to email me with details...nospamflyingvranch@earthlink.net
Thanks again folks!

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
