When you need precise control over multiple hydraulic functions—like running a loader and a backhoe attachment or operating a log splitter with dual cylinders—this dual-spool hydraulic valve gives you that fingertip control. The closed center design means your hydraulic pump doesn’t waste energy circulating oil when you’re not using the hydraulics, and the joystick handle lets you operate both spools smoothly with one hand while keeping the other on the steering wheel.
What You’re Getting
- 30 GPM flow capacity handles most tractor hydraulic systems without restricting performance
- Spring-centered spools automatically return to neutral when you let go—no hunting for the center position
- 3/4 inch inlet and outlet ports with 1/2 inch working ports fit standard tractor hydraulic setups
- Joystick control gives you smooth, precise operation of both spools from one ergonomic handle
- Closed center design saves fuel and reduces heat buildup in your hydraulic system
Built for Real Farm Work
This valve is designed for operating double-acting cylinders or reversible hydraulic motors—the kind of equipment you’ll find on front-end loaders, backhoes, log splitters, and hydraulic-driven implements. Whether you’re stacking hay bales, digging post holes, or running a hydraulic-powered auger, the dual spools let you control two separate functions independently or together as needed.
Made to Last
Cross Manufacturing builds these valves tough enough for commercial and agricultural use. The closed center design reduces wear on your hydraulic pump by eliminating constant circulation, while the precision-machined spools and quality seals handle the pressure cycles that come with heavy hydraulic work. The spring centering mechanism is built to return reliably to neutral position even after thousands of cycles.
Installation Notes
This is a direct bolt-in replacement for most tractor hydraulic valve setups. You’ll want to flush your hydraulic lines before installation to keep any debris from contaminating the new valve. The joystick handle can be positioned to suit your operator station, and all connections use standard NPT threads for easy hookup to your existing hydraulic lines.
