Hydraulics system experts: Am I doing any damage with the below set up? My tractors only have two sets of remotes, but batwing mowers have three one-way hydraulic circuits. I use the first circuit for the main mower raise/lower. I used to tee the two wings into one, and plug that into circuit two. But that means that you can only fold up and lower both sides at the same time. So last year, I separated the tee, and ran each one-way hose to each of the outlets on my number two circuit. It works great, but you do need to pay attention. I leave it in float for most mowing (as instructed in the manual. Pull it back to raise one wing, push it forward to raise the other. Back to float to lower either/both. The main thing to watch out for is that when you raise one wing, the other (if it is up) will float down slowly. And it is tough to get both wings up all the way. But the raise rate is much faster than the lower rate, so you can control the mower pretty well with this set up. My question is this - The tractor manual says to put the hoses from one-way cylinders into only one of the two outlets (the cylinder extend side). I"m placing one hose in both. Any thoughts on what might be happening? Thanks, Steve

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
