You might want to post a pic of the generic joystick, but maybe I'm the only person having a problem trying to envision what it looks like.

Here is a nice loader valve. Has float and regen.

What kind of third valve did you get installed.

You could have added a diverter/selector valve to the above valve and use a switch between curl and grapple. .

There are some switches here:

The generic joystick switch you have is pretty much the kind of thing I found when I was researching for my diverter install. I thought they were a bit expensive so I went with the one shown in this post that I found on Amazon.

It looks a little goofy on a CUT, but works just fine.

Can you post a picture of the power beyond kit. I want to install a 3rd valve on my montana 2844R. Just so i have an idea of what to get.

What about going to an LS dealer and just getting the 3rd OEM rear remote valve?

Cause there expensive. i would if there was a ls dealer close by. i would like to kinda build my own but well see. Im gonna go look next time im in the city to see what i can put together at there is a place kinda like surplus center up here and they have a pile of hydralics. Might be able to put it together for less tan 600-800

You should be able to get the OEM valve for that.

Ya but i dont want to spend that much lol. I looked today and im sure i could tap into the pressure line and make it work with a electric selonoid valve setup. If i found the right parts today i could do it for almost 1/4 of what they want for a kit.

Sorry for misunderstanding you. I thought that you were willing to pay 6-$800. But you are saying that that is what it costs at the dealer? So you are saying that you can do the solenoid kit for $150-$200? Please let us all know how that goes, it could help out A LOT of people if it can be done for that price. :cool2:

Im gonna go back in to the store in a week or so and im gonna spend some time making the kit as 6-800 is to much for what is actually what is in it. I will do a good write up on it once i get the time to get all of the parts organized and ready to do install(its not easy for me as closest good place is 1.5 hours for hydralic supplies.).
