I am building a fence post driver for my tractor. I am pretty green on hooking up the hydraulics. I have three cylinders. One to lift the driver weight, and two for lateral leveling (fore/aft and side/side) The tractor that I am using is a Case 1070 with two remotes. The levers inside the cab are spring loaded to return to a neutral position when not in use. My questions are; 1. Can I bungee the cab lever to provide a source of hydraulic pressure to the driver which then has it's own control valves to operate the three cylinders? 2. I have seen commecial drivers work and the operator pulls a control valve lever which operates the lift cylinder mechanism and when the operator lets go of the control the cylinder "free falls" back to the retracted position. If I have the cab control bungeed open, will I still be able to do the same also? 3. I am confused as to the difference between double and single acting cylinders. I would assume I think that I need a single acting cylinder for the lift cylinder. What about the other two position cylinders? 4. I am also confused about what type of control valve to buy to allow me to operate the three cylinders off the tractor. Yes I am totally green when it comes to hydraulics and if someone would be so kind as to perhaps draw me a schematic I would be well on my way to fence post driving nirvana! :) I will post pictures for the board when I am finished with the construction. Thanks in advance for any help and if someone needs to email me with details...nospamflyingvranch@earthlink.net Thanks again folks!

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
