They are SA cylinders, I do not have a crossover valve installed, they are hooked directly to my loader control. I did do some asking round about that and the responses I got were that I didn't really need one in this situation. I suppose they could be wrong about that????

I do think they were wrong but as long as you are easy, you should be fine.

With the setup you have now, if you are angled fully one direction, and catch that edge on something, it is trying to compress that cylinder and building a LOT of pressure in the system. If the fluid that is overpressurized has no where to go, it will probabally blow a hose.

A crossover valve is simply a adjustable valve, that at a set psi will divert the fluid into the other cylinder. That will allow the one to collapse without blowing a hose, and the other to extend without drawing a vaccuum.:thumbsup:

Yes, that's pretty much the way I understood it. I figured I'd give it a try the way I have it and make modifications as need. Haven't had any issues yet. Had a rough winter last year, that was the true test.
