Hydraulic Valve Selection

[cadillac]

I'm wanting to add top and tilt to my old mitsubishi tractor and I've found a way but I don't know which valve to get. I'll have two 2" cylinders to control and the flow will have to run those then go on to the lift arm hydraulics.

I've seen how to cut into my line to tap in on the site below, but what valve do I need?

You need a open center, 2 spool, 4-way, spring return to center valve with power beyond capabilities.

For a TnT setup, this Joystick Valve would be nice. Or a regular valve would work well also...

Wow that's exactly what I needed to know. Looks like I can set the top link to float if I wanted also, that's a bonus.

So I assume that this would have 6 ports. Two ins for the cylinders, two outs for the cylinders, one input from the pump, and one output (power beyond) for the lift arms?

You will have 7. You forgot the return line to the tank.

How many lines does your FEL valve have connected to it now?

My tractor is late 70's japanese stock with zero addons. The picture above is just an easy way for me to get hydraulic fluid to some extra cylinders. Instead of it going straight to the lift arms, I want to kinda tap into that for some extra cylinders since this thing doesn't have remote connections.

it's been a while and I think I'm about ready to get these parts together. My only issue is tapping into the hard lines. I'm fairly sure I will need a compression fitting and adapt to a quick disconnect, but I don't know the terminology well enough. Any advice on fittings, or good web sites?
