Need remote hydraulic help.

[GrayBeard]

First I've got little or no hydraulic experience.
I would like to add a remote valve to operate a double acting cylinder on my grader blade. ( I guess it would be double acting as I wish to angle the blade both ways)
I think it should be pretty easy because I've already got a hyd. supply and return back there for my backhoe.
What kind of valve do I want ?
Is this as easy as mounting the appproiate valve and connecting to the QD's for the hoe or am I all wet?
Thanks much.

You would normally want a single spool 3-position 4-way valve with spring return to center. The valve block should have power beyond.

Maybe all wet, but first you must detrermine how the backhoe and 3pt are plumbed.

First a question since I am not familiar with Cub Cadet hydraulic plumbing. Is the 3pt disabled when the backhoe is connected? (probably). The fact the you already have a supply and return says that the backhoe would be the last valve in the circuit (it has no power beyond) and the 3pt would be disabled, usually manually.

Determine the existing plumbing and I can give you instructions on plumbing the remote valve.

Mad ,
Thanks for the response.
I've never tried the 3 pt. with the hoe on. I've got to remove the lift arms to install the hoe. (sub-frame mount)
I guess I'll try the Dlr. about the "plumbing" questions.( I have no idea)
May be totally un-related but when I un-hook the backhoe; I've got to loop a short hose between the supply and return QD's on the rear of the tractor for a return path to the system.
