Abstract
A quick drop valve is electrically actuated by a switch located adjacent to the implement positioning control lever. The quick drop valve is a pilot operated spring biassed valve. When the electric switch is closed a solenoid valve is energized redirecting fluid between the pilot control lines. The quick drop valve is shifted short circuiting the flow of fluid from the lift side of the hydraulic cylinder to the reservoir and redirects it to the drop side of the hydraulic cylinder for quickly dropping the working implement.
