When you need to add hydraulic power to your tractor for single-acting cylinders or simple hydraulic motors, this open center control valve gets the job done without breaking the bank. Whether you’re running a log splitter, dump trailer, or single-acting lift cylinder, this valve gives you smooth, reliable control over hydraulic flow and pressure.
What You’re Getting
- 3-way, 3-position design perfect for single-acting cylinders and unidirectional motors
- Spring centering keeps the valve in neutral when you let go of the handle
- Adjustable relief valve protects your system from over-pressure damage (set at 2000 PSI, adjustable from 1500-2500 PSI)
- 30 GPM maximum flow capacity handles most farm hydraulic needs
- Comes with handle and mounting hardware – no extra parts to hunt down
Built for Real Farm Work
This valve works great for tractors that need simple hydraulic control for implements like dump trailers, wood splitters, or any single-acting cylinder application. The open center design allows unused hydraulic flow to return to the tank, keeping your system from overheating during extended use. It’s the kind of valve you’ll find on everything from compact utility tractors to mid-size farm machines.
Made to Last
Cross builds these valves to handle the dirt, vibration, and temperature swings that come with farm work. The internal components are machined to tight tolerances for smooth operation and long life, while the cast body stands up to the bumps and knocks of daily use.
Installation Notes
This is a direct bolt-on replacement that mounts easily to most tractor hydraulic systems. The 3/4 inch NPTF inlet and outlet ports handle good flow, while the 1/2 inch working ports connect to your implement lines. If you’re adding this to an existing system, make sure your pump can handle the flow requirements.
