This valve controls the flow of hydraulic fluid within the grain harvester's hydraulic system. It is installed in the circuit to direct or restrict flow as required by the machine's control logic. A worn or leaking valve can cause sluggish implement response or unintended drift in the hydraulic actuators. This original component is manufactured to the same internal port geometry and cracking pressure as the assembly it replaces, ensuring the system's flow and pressure curves remain within the original design parameters.
