Hi, this thread closely matches my situation but i want to be doubly sure i am doing this correctly.
I have a ford 4600 and am trying to connect a bushhog front end loader
The front end loader has two control levers and only two hydraulic fittings for me to connect lines to from the tractor - one in, one out
Tractor has a selector valve - i have purchased an HV5902 adapter plate kit to go under the selector valve
The HV5902 has the three holes - P, PB, and return port
If i am reading correctly, I should run P to the loader and then other port exiting the loader would return to the PB port on the HV5902, then the third hole on the HV5902 which is the 'return port' would be plugged?
I am reading about the back pressure issue if the loader returns to the 'return port', 1)does this (P->loader , loader ->PB, return port plugged on HV5902) solve everything or would there be potential problems? or 2) should i purchase a joystick valve for the loader that has a PB port? or 3) should i purchase the HV4902 that only has two ports since the loader only has two ports
If option 1 is okay, how do i know if the loader levers/valves are open center valves and not closed center? - per paperwork with hv5902, they have to be open center valves
thank you
