A pin extends through the chamber and is configured to rotate within the chamber. A paddle is coupled to the pin and sized and shaped to sit substantially flush against the interior wall. The paddle is configured to push the hydraulic fluid in a first direction and a second direction through the valve. A trailer connector is coupled to the pin and configured to be coupled to the trailer.
