Do you have any other use for rear remotes?
You basically have 3 options as I see it..
1. Add a set of remotes.
to do this, you already have the supply and PB hose plumbed (the backhoe hoses). You would need to add a return hose tee'd into a return somewhere. Then your two remote couplers. A single set of remotes + valve hoses and fittins is probably gonna run you in the $500 ballpark to do this, and will require you finding a good spot to mount the valve.
The reason you dont have a return off the backhoe valve is because they are using that PB hose (that actually feeds the 3PH valve before it returns to tank). This is not an issue with a backhoe because with a backhoe on you cannot use the hitch. But hypothetically if you could, whatever pressure the 3PH takes to lift its load, is on the tank circuit of the BH valve and will cause it to leak, blow seals, and in a worst case fracture the casting. But no issue as is since with nothing on the 3PH with the BH on, you cannot generate pressure there.
2. Add a 3rd function valve.
this is basically the same as the remotes, tapping into the same lines, still adding a return (if using a manual valve), but putting the couplers up front and not at the back of the tractor. Basically option 1 = rear SCV, option 2 = front SCV You can also choose an electric solenoid 3rd function and a push buttons on your loader joystick. Push one button and it angles one way, push other button to angle other way. "usually" solenoid valves have pressure rated tank passages, so wouldnt need to tee a return line in.
Probably about the same $500 ballpark.
3. Install a diverter. Instead of tapping into PB lines and return lines and all......you tap a loader function. Either curl or lift circuit. Lets say you choose curl circuit.
Instead of your QC couplers coming out of the loader valve and going to your curl cylinders, you will run them from the loader valve into a diverter. The diverter takes those two hoses in, and has 4 outlets. Two go to the curl. (this would be default with diverter not energized). The other two go to the plow angle.
Then you have button on the joystick to energize the diverter.
End result....move joystick left and right and bucket curls and dumps like normal. Hold the button (conveniently mounted on the joystick) and move the joystick left and right and the plow angles left and right.
Diverter will probably cost a little less than than the others.
I installed a diverter on my loader for the
grapple and snowplow. I also installed rear remotes for things in the back. Links are in my signature. Read up.
