Anybody done Remote Control for hydraulics?

I know there are some commercial, R/C units for truck-mounted crane systems, but I am looking for something more basic. I would like to control the typical, fore-n-aft, hand controls with a servo controlled with an R/C transmitter used with model boats, etc. Have one of you done such? Thanks.

That kind of hyd remote is available. These are not cheap.

Actually any wireless setup that can activate a set of relays can operate solenoid valves.

Sorry for the tardy thanks J_J. It's more the actuators or servos that I am concerned about. I can get a 4-channel transmitter/receiver pretty cheap.. it's the things that move fore/aft under their command that seems to be the issue. There's a guy on YouTube that did a R/C mower with all hydraulics (most do electric motors) but it's hard to contact people who post there. Again, thanks.
