New stuff from Tazewell

That's exactly what I had in mind. I would definitely pay a few hundred $ extra for that.

My #1 wish. Put in a dedicated circuit with a joystick on the left side of the steering wheel to use for 4n1 open/close and mini-hoe scoop.

It is a PIA to use the lttle QA lever for those purposes; I would rather the QA circuit stay a QA circuit all the time (they could eliminate the quick disconnect on those hoses).

If nothing else, make it available as a option -- they could put a cable controlled valve off the existing stack, and mount the cable control on the left side of the dashboard for well under $300 in cost.. and still make a profit on it. With the current QA valve being open-center, the flow is already there, so the only parts costs are (1) valve, (2) cable control & (3) the short cable needed.

Amen brother. I have only 18 hours on my 425, but have used several attachments. I've wished countless times already that the QA circuit didn't have to be disconnected.

Tim, You can achieve this by using an electric hydraulic valve, and placing the control switch anywhere. A good place for the switch would be to replace the ball on top of the joystick, with a built in switch in the handle, using your thumb for control.

The supply fluid for the valve can be acquired by installing a tee on the input line for the steering valve. This would be considered an aux circuit with priority flow.
