Sounds simple...yes, however without some form of proportional control, as the equal flow of pressurised fluid will retract the right cylinder faster than the left cylinder extending due to the annular difference or smaller surface area within the rod side of the right cylinder when retracting
PS.....your build looks amazing & I look forward to seeing it progress.............Derek

Thanks...kind of makes sense but it works ok with these small machines Now looking back at the pics i have to do some replumbing ..did you spot the error ..steering hoses need to be swapped around
