So you are not going to have outriggers?

You want it to be Open Center, and possibly with the Power Beyond depending on how you are going to power/plumb it.

No you don't need the closed center plug. You will need one PB sleeve/fitting. The output from the PB port will go the input of the second valve, and both valves have to return to tank.

If you have 5 cyl, you will need 5 spools. Unless you combine the out riggers into one spool.

I used the stacked small prince valves and added there joy stick option, I had 6 valves two for out riggers and put them in the middle and single handles on them and joy sticks on the out side, (I think surplus center has them),

I think you can see them in this picture, this was one of the first test hook up I had done with the back hoe,
