    On the 30 and 40 series sound guard style tractors if you're using a single acting cylinder (rake lift and maybe the haybine lift) you could hook it up to the left port of number 2 outlet (right side scv) and to lower it you can just put it in float and you don't have to hold the lever to let it down. Just a suggestion to streamline your turnarounds.
