Boy that is a tough one. You are using the bottom control for the Eagle hitch and the top control for the double acting cylinder? First of all think this way. 1. When you move the remote lever, the spool valve closes off the bypass and pressurizes one end of the control valve and on out to the end of the cylinder. 2. When you move the remote lever the other way, the spool valve closes off the bypass and pressurizes the other end of the control valve and on out to the other end of the cylinder. The by-pass is common to both valves, so when you move the upper control valve (remote) lever, the bottom control valve (eagle) has equal pressure on the same end. The only thing keeping the pressure in the lower valve from going out to raise the hitch is that lower spool is centered and not leaking bye. If the prong close end of the upper control valve corresponds with the hitch raise end of the lower control valve than it appears that your lower control valve spool is leaking bye or the spool is not centered. I would disconnect the lower control valve linkage rod right at the lever on the side, move the lever back and forth make sure the spool is moving freely in the valve. Center the spool, you should be able to feel the ball catch in the detent, very little or no slop. Now start up the tractor and check your prong with the linkage disconnected. Maybe you�ll get lucky. You also have to take into the account the oil pressures will be higher in cold weather not only in the control valves but in the return and more so if your return filter is dirty so even a minor off center spool will cause problems that may not be readily noticeable in the summer. It�s late and I am tired so may be off-base. Hopefully Roger will come along help out. Joe
