When you’re running a loader on your compact tractor, smooth control makes all the difference between getting work done efficiently and struggling through every scoop. This 2-spool open center valve gives you precise hydraulic control right where you need it, with a joystick that feels natural in your hand. Whether you’re moving dirt, stacking hay, or cleaning up around the barn, this valve puts you in complete control of your loader operations.
What You’re Getting
- Includes load checks that prevent your bucket from dropping when you let off the joystick
- First spool has float position so your bucket can follow ground contours automatically
- Second spool features regeneration to speed up your bucket tilt – no more waiting around
- Rated for 10 GPM flow capacity with 3/4-16 ORB thread connections
- Open center design works with your tractor’s existing hydraulic system
Built for Compact Tractor Work
This valve is designed specifically for compact tractors where space is tight but you still need full loader control. The joystick design saves valuable cab space compared to individual lever setups, and the 10 GPM capacity handles most compact loader applications without breaking a sweat. It’s perfect for utility tractors used around farms, construction sites, landscaping operations, and property maintenance work.
Made to Last
Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure and constant demand, especially when you’re doing heavy work like loader operations, and this Cross valve is built to handle that abuse. The precision-machined internal components maintain tight tolerances for consistent performance, while the robust housing stands up to the vibration and shock loads that come with loader work.
Installation Notes
The 3/4-16 ORB (O-Ring Boss) threads are a standard hydraulic connection, and the valve mounts directly to your tractor’s hydraulic system. Make sure your tractor’s hydraulic pump can supply the 10 GPM this valve requires for full performance. If you’re not comfortable working with hydraulic systems, have a qualified technician handle the installation – hydraulic fluid under pressure can be dangerous.
