Description
If you’ve ever tried to get your loader bucket to follow ground contours smoothly or wished you had better control over your hydraulic implements, this closed-center valve is exactly what you need. The built-in float position on the first spool lets your blade or bucket ride the terrain naturally, making everything from grading driveways to loading feed bunks a whole lot easier. No more jerky movements or fighting the controls—just smooth, precise operation.
What You’re Getting
- Two independent spools give you complete control over dual hydraulic functions—perfect when you need to operate a loader and another implement at the same time
- Float position detent on the first spool allows implements to follow ground contours automatically, reducing operator fatigue and improving work quality
- Closed-center design means better fuel efficiency and less heat buildup compared to open-center systems
- Spring-centered action returns spools to neutral automatically when you release the handles
- 30 GPM flow capacity handles demanding applications without restriction
Built for Real Farm Work
This valve is designed for operating double-acting cylinders and reversible hydraulic motors, making it ideal for front-end loaders, backhoes, hydraulic tillers, and other implements that need precise bidirectional control. Whether you’re moving manure, loading hay bales, or running a post-hole digger, the closed-center design gives you better responsiveness and control than you’ll get with basic open-center systems.
Made to Last
Cross builds these valves to handle the constant cycling and high pressures of farm hydraulic systems. The valve body is cast for strength, and the internal components are precision-machined for long service life. Standard NPT fittings make installation straightforward with 3/4-inch inlet and outlet ports plus 1/2-inch working ports.
Good to Know
The valve comes complete with handles, so you’re ready to install and operate right out of the box. Installation is usually a direct swap if you’re replacing an existing valve—just match up your port sizes and mounting configuration. The closed-center design works best with load-sensing hydraulic systems, so check your tractor’s hydraulic setup if you’re unsure about compatibility.
