Loader bucket cylinders

Because of a severe leak in the bucket cylinder on my Farmhand F10, I plan to convert it to double-acting cylinders on the bucket. The reinforced welding areas have made it impossible to get the original cylinder out without cutting the square main tubing. I plan to run the PTO pump through a open center dual control valve.
Will I be able to use the double-acting cylinders on the bucket, and continue the single acting cylinders on the loader lift by running it through the open center valve?, or do they all need to be double acting cylinders?
 
You can run the doubles on one and singles on the other OK. I've done it with both open center and closed center on Deeres and Olivers.
 
Why? I"ve had double acting on the bucket, single on the boom, on a Paulson loader on a reversed WC since the late 70s. No issues with it.
 
The heaviest (highest pressure )load can control a weaker lower pressure in the valve ahead of it. If both sticks are in use at the same moment unexpected motion or speed of motion or lack of motion can occur. Jim
