The pressure detent release system on this valve consists of a spring loaded needle for adjustment of the release pressure. This pressure is sensed from the load side of the control valve. When load pressure gets high enough to open the needle then oil is allowed to act on the release piston, removing tension on the detent balls thus releasing the spool and allowing the springs to return the control spool to the center position. There is also a .020 orifice is a passage to the sump that restricts oil flow out of the detent machanism and allows for the hyd pressure to build. When you utilize a tarp strap to hold the remote lever on and not the detent you have just created a high pressure leak in the system. This is what generates the heat. The priority spool in n1 is a completely spearate issue. This spool accomplishes two things. First, it is responsible for maintaining a consistent oil flow thru the valve when additional flow is requested from the pump, such as when using another remote, hitch, or steering. Without this valve the lighter loads would speed up and the heavier loads slow down or not move at all. The second function of the priority spool in n1 it to gurantee that the flow demands for this valve are met first. It accomplished the same thin for n1 as the steering priority valve does for steering. If a heavy load is placed on n1, and the flow is not controlled with the flow control in the tractor valve and the lever is bungeed on, the priority valve will shut off everything downstream. Essentially what you are telling the pump is that n1 is the highest load and that is the only load that the compensator will see and the pump will only deliver enough oil to staisify the requirements for n1. Hope this helps.
