Your SA (single acting) cylinders will work just fine. When the one port is pressurized, the other will be open to the return line.

User PineRidge also put a plow on his TC40, you can look at his HERE

I have a 7-1/2 foot Fisher plow mounted to my fel and it is power angle. I had some long 1/4" hoses made up and plug them into my rear remote. I have been using this set up for 4 years now and it is a super set up. I have the quick attact and I can be changed back to my bucket in 5 minutes or less.

Mayor8020,
I'd make sure those cylinders are empty and clean before you hook them up... I think some of the plow units used power steering fluid and not hydraulic fluid.

You don't want to polute your tractor....

HERE is a link to my plow project.
If you search "fel plow" and "fel snowplow" you will find lots more posts about them. But as I said, there is no problem hooking up your two SA cylinders.
