Need loader valve for Mahindra MH115 loader for 3016 tractor

[perryg114]

I just bought an almost complete loader for my Mahindra 3016. It is an ML115 loader and it needs the loader valve and hoses and fittings. I have been looking and I can get a decent 10GPM flow 2 spool valve for around $200. I will probably put a grapple on it at some point and it seems like it would make sense to put the third function on now when it will cost another $100 to add a 3 spool valve or a separate single spool. The 3rd functions kits are around $500 so it looks like thinking ahead would make sense at this point. I need a loader valve anyway so why not add that 3rd function.

Hard to find info on these things. 2 spool valves are easier to find and I can get spec sheets so i know what I am getting.

These guys have lots of info but no two stick 3 spool valves. I could add a single spool separately but the handles will be too far apart. This tractor is Shuttle Shift so you run out of hands pretty quick.

So can anyone help me sort this out?

I have the Chief 10 GPM version for a project tractor I am working on. Have not installed it yet but have two other valves I use on my Kioti. One on the loader with third spool for grapple and one I moved to the back for rear remotes.

The loader one is a Walvoil and is a very nice valve. The remote valve is a Youli. The Youli is not a good valve as it has a casting issue that is in every valve. When the first spool is used it builds pressure and blows over the relief valve. Not a problem for me on the remotes because they are not used that often.

The photo is of the Chief Valve? How come you have it mounted horizontally in stead of vertically like most joy sticks. Can you operate that aux lever without taking you hand off the main joy stick? Does the chief valve have a boom float position?

 

[K5lwq]

The photo is of Walvoil and Youli. I have not installed the Chief valve yet.

I can work the third lever with my hand on the joystick. I chose that orientation for ease of use.

The Chief I ordered does have float and power beyond. Also has checks on each spool.

That photos is showing all of them on the same block like the Chief. I thought you said the older one was a 2 spool and a separate 1 spool but the photo looks like the Chief.

Where are you buying these valves?

 

[K5lwq]

No they are all three spool valves like the Chief. When I bought those Chief only offered the 25gpm and that was way to big for my system.

I had my local Hydraulic store order the Youli and I had a Walvoil dealer in Dallas order that one. I paid way more for those than I did for the Chief. The Chief has all the features I could not find back then without special orders.

 

[perryg114]

Does that little lever go left and right or front and back?

 

[K5lwq]

Front and back. Not left or right.

Ok, I ended up buying the Chief 3 spool off ebay. I hope I made the right decision. I was confused about how the hoses connect. On my Mahindra they show a hose hooked to the power beyond back to the junction block. I think when you connect the new loader valve, that takes the flow from the three point. To get it to function again, you have to run a hose out of the power beyond on the loader valve back to the junction block. They also tell you to insert a set screw in the junction block to divert flow to the new valve. Does this sound correct?

 

[K5lwq]

It sounds logical to me. Can you take a picture of the directions? The valve needs to be set up as open center with power beyond.
