A work vehicle including at least one implement lifting arm connected to an implement and a hydraulic implement circuit, the implement circuit having a pump and a fluid reservoir connected to conduits of the implement circuit. The implement circuit further includes at least one implement cylinder, the implement cylinder being connected to the conduits of the implement circuit so as to be powered by the pump; and a latch mechanism comprising a latch valve with integral sequence valve mechanism, wherein the latch valve is connected to receive fluid from the implement cylinder, and a latch cylinder is connected to receive fluid from the latch valve, wherein the latch mechanism operates to securely connect the implement at one end of the at least one lifting arm when the implement cylinder is in a first state and the latch valve is operated to direct fluid to the latch cylinder.
A work vehicle comprising at least one implement lifting arm connectable to an implement and a hydraulic implement circuit for powering the implement, the hydraulic implement circuit having a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic fluid reservoir connected to hydraulic conduits of the hydraulic implement circuit, wherein the hydraulic pump is connected to pump hydraulic fluid from the reservoir through the conduits of the hydraulic implement circuit, wherein the implement circuit further comprises:
A hydraulic circuit for a work vehicle, the hydraulic circuit comprising:
A hydraulic latch mechanism hydraulically connectable to a hydraulic circuit of a work vehicle, wherein the hydraulic circuit is connectable to provide hydraulic fluid to power the hydraulic latch mechanism, wherein the latch mechanism comprises:
