What is a Hydraulic Control Valve? Hydraulic control valves start and stop fluid flow into hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic motors. They operate either manually or electronically (solenoid-operated). The number of cylinders or motors that a control valve can operate depends on the number of spools. The flow rates represent the maximum allowed GPM (Gallons Per […]
A Third Function Valve is a hydraulic control valve that’s installed on your tractor in order to add an additional hydraulic function. It’s often called a Third Function as it’s used to control an additional third hydraulic cylinder, the first two cylinders being on a front-end loader (Tilt/Curl). A hydraulic control valve allows fluid to […]
