For adding some loader attachments you can also use a
diverter valve which when installed allows you to use
the attachment when you touch a thumb switch on your
knob and then activate curl/dump motion.
With some attachments you have to have a loader valve
that either does not have a regenerative dump circuit
or has both a regen circuit and a regular dump or your
attachment will not work. You can do an archive search
on this. Smarter heads then mine figured this out.
Whatever you do with your hydraulics make sure you or
the person doing the work understands what is happening.
Some "professionals" don't seem to. Hooked up the wrong
way your loader or backhoe valve can explode like a
balloon if the low pressure return circuit is pressurized.
Been there, done that.
Hired a "professional" big mistake.
I knew not much about hydraulics before this. I know a little
more now, and a lot more then the "professional".
