Moreover, in order to maintain the position or working state of the implement, a hydraulic lock is usually set. However, many existing agricultural machinery require high sealing requirements. For example, the lifting cylinder of a tractor requires high pressure holding performance. If the pressure holding performance is not good, when plowing, the plowing depth will be different, affecting the plowing effect. The control mechanism of the tractor multi-way valve has three working conditions: lifting, lowering, and floating. The conventional tractor multi-way valve has an uncontrollable speed during lowering, and the implement may descend too fast, which has potential safety hazards. And there are practical problems that the commonly used hydraulic lock to lock the lifting oil port has high machining accuracy requirements and great machining difficulty.
