Yes, just trying to raise and lower a pull type bush hog.
If its a single qcting cylinder (one hose) you should connect the unused bucket port to the hydraulic tank. If you dont connect the extra port you wil run the pump against the over pressure relief valve evrery time you retract the cylinder. That wont kill the hydraulic system but should be avoided if possible.

Okay, I'm a little ignorant on this, so please break that down for me. i don't understand connecting the unused port to the hydraulic tank.

The loader valve hasvtwo bucket outlets.

You will connect the implement hose to one of the outlets

You need to get a another hose and connect it to the other outlet. Then run that hose to any place on the tractor thst dumps into the transmission.

I have since been told i can run the cylinder off 1 hose that pushes and vent the other end of the cylinder. going to try that before i do anything else.

You dont understand. You need to do both.

You must vent the unused end of the cylinder to use it in a SA application.

That does nothing to prevent overpressuring the unused outlet port on the valve. Connecting it to tank does.

That said, if the cylinder has two ports I would use it in both directions ( two hoses connected to both outlets) and there is no need to worry about any of the other issues.
