Hydraulic Cylinder Simulation - balancing cylinders

I am working on a simulation involving hydraulic cylinders.

Simplified for discussion - i have a table, where each leg is a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinders are originally locked at mid stroke. I add a weight over one leg. I open a valve to a system ONLY connected between the 4 cylinders - what happens to the table? The 4 cylinders should balance out, meaning the cylinder under the load should retract, and the opposite corner should extend, and the other 2 could retract or extend (depends on table dimensions).

Question - how do i set up the cylinders in Advanced Simulation?
