The simplest reason is that when the switch is flipped to one side, the other
port is released to the atmosphere.
This means that your hydraulic fluid would spill all over the floor. Figure out
how to eliminate the free release (hint, only throw the switch half way) and you
will have taken the first big step. My pneumatic multiplexors might be able to
help, but I've never looked into it.
