Thank you all for your answers. That makes sense.

@Lost_Jeep I have a slightly off-topic question: my tractor has a block that looks just like the one in your photo, and when I bought it mine had a plow attached with 3 lines to the control valve, like yours. The two hoses on the righthand face of the block are IN and OUT to the control valve...

Oh sorry @torch, I missed your in-line reply above. Thanks!
