I don't work on hyd a lot and my understanding is minimal but on a loader with 2 cylinders they are T together. How about on a swivel, like on a plow blade do we simply T double acting cylinders together, in to one and out to the other to get them to swivel? 1' Tractor Rear Blade,Allied Farm King All Hydraulic,SevereDty:BEST BRAND&SPECS | eBay

Cylinders must match and then yes- the lines cross but are teed

I was driving along and was thinking about this, looked up the pic and couldn't tell from it. For some reason I was relating to a Meyers plow that doesn't work like that. So I only need a single set of hoses to remotes to make it work? Double acting?

Yup, just treat the teed cylinders as one - valve either pushes into ONE tee or the OTHER - won't work WITHOUT TEE's, they're what compensates for the fact that you're working on rod end with one cylinder and piston end (base) with the other... Steve

But the rear blade that you linked to has 3 independent double acting cylinders for 3 different functions.

Offset, Angle and Tilt.

They won't do 3 seperate functions if teed together.

I don't know if it's has been mentioned, but if you're using one cylinder on each side of something like a snowplow blade, you want to go into the rod side of one cylinder and the base side of the other when you're coming out of the tee. That way there move in opposite directions.
