....so hard on yourself. I've got customers operating remotes they way you do-yes it's not correct, but they've been doing it for years without damaging anything.

In regards to hooking the remotes up backwards, most major manufacturers' equipment has built in protection for this. On CNH's stuff, they have a one-way check valve in their fan plumbing on air carts and planters so that if you stroke the remote the wrong way, oil just bypasses instead of tearing something up. Also, in the case of not moving the remote into float position to stop the motor, they have a "coast-down valve" that allows the oil to recirculate in the fan circuit to allow a smooth slowdown of the fan. Newer CNH stuff has both features, pretty sure Deere does, too, along with most ag manufacturers. I'm supposed to be a "professional", and I hook more than my fair share of stuff up backwards initially and I haven't had anything major blow-up on me lately.

I would encourage you, though, to install the return line from the fan circuit into the low-pressure return coupler(3/4" coupler on the RH valve stack). Makes life easier on hydraulic components.
