Kioti ck third function

[maximus1277]

I just picked up a quick attach snow plow and a grapple for my ck27. My local dealer recommends that I control the front hydraulics from the A/B valve on the right side of the seat. I have never seen it done that way, and I'm not sure what that exactly involves since I didn't get the details yet, but the cost is half of those fancy push button joystick valves I've seen around. Ideally, I want to keep the cost to a minimum as I suspect I will be shopping for a bigger machine in a year or two. Another way to go I guess would be to run lines from the rear ports thru some sort of a log splitter valve. Anyone using the side A/B valve that can comment on usability and experience? I'm not planning to use the plow all that much and the grapple will likely see usage once a year.

You have the control valve now, That is what the lever should be at the right. The lever springs back to center when you let go? All you need are a couple of 11' hoses and some couplers and you can be up and operating.
