Is there a hyd valve for UP,HOLD,FLOAT, and DOWN?

Posted by Greg Reuter on April 06, 2000 at 20:45:57 from (208.153.34.42):

Is there 4-way valve that would provide
UP, HOLD, FLOAT, and DOWN for my
add-on 3-point hitch?

UP, HOLD, and FLOAT with a
single-acting cylinder is fine for most things,
but it would be nice to add DOWN pressure for
getting the 3-point bucket to dig into the
ground better.

The Northern Hydraulics catalog
(www.northerntool.com) lists several
Prince valves. I am not able to determine
from the description if one of them will do
exacly what I want. Northern recommended
their 2010 model, but I don't think it will
provide the FLOAT I need for mowing etc.
It is a "standard 4-way control valve".

Their 2032 valve is a "4-way with FLOAT".
Northern told me it won't give down pressure.
It seems like it should, else it wouldn't be
any better than a 3-way valve.

Also, what are these "load checks" some of
the valves have. If they don't have load
checks, will the implement drop while the
handle is being moved from the UP to the HOLD
position?
