Backhoe Rear Remotes Diagrams

[Patiofarmer]

Although I haven't installed these, I wanted to post diagrams as a way of saying thanks to Galen and JJ for helping me get the grasp of how this kind of works.
These diagrams (before and after) might help someone as new as I am to hydraulics at least get basic idea of what's involved.

Now throw in how that would look with the backhoe hooked up as well. I have been trying to figure out how to do that and still keep the connections for the backhoe in a reasonable place.

From what I've been able to figure out, and been helped to understand... the diagram with the 2nd control valve is for the backhoe.

I'm quickly coming to realization that I can't afford a backhoe probably... and I'm a little leary of 3pt backhoe hurting my tractor...so now I'm playing with the idea of building a little backhoe bucket and boom using the plans "thegreensmachines.com" sells. Before I buy the plans-have to convince my wife...even building it myself will probably hit about $2,000. My idea is to make it stand alone, but transport it around the yard with 3pt setup...not sure if I want to do all the work though.

The only backhoes affordable I've found are like the VLbhm model $3200 including delivery and PTO pump and tank built in. and the one at Coldwater.com

But as wife reminds me...that's a lot of money to dig a few holes and sprinkler trenches. I tried explaining to her it's like her shoe shoppin is to her:laughing: Haven't convinced her yet.
