If you're going to run a feed like that you must make sure that the valve block you're using is big enough, otherwise the oil will overheat and damage the tractor. I'd think a CETOP 5 would be the minumum requirement. For 'free falling' you need a valve which has a float position on that service. Decide exactly how many services you require before spending any money as it's very difficult add extra spools 'in line' at a later date. For example, you might want some sort of hydraulic post holding clamp or hydraulic foot adjustment.

I've often thought about making a post rammer, I thought about using an electric solenoid block. This would allow you to site the hydraulic components neatly and have a control pendant (like you get on workshop cranes) to allow you to operate the machine from a convenient place (holding the post straight with a bar could be done by one person). You buy a base plate with the required number of services and then add suitable valves which could be of several different configurations. Try to find an agent for Denison Hydraulics, I've used their valves on several occasions and found them to be very good.

I once saw a post rammer which had been mounted onto a loader, looked good as it enabled access to tight corners and over ditches where a rear mounted unit wouldn't go.
