Time to start thinking about a TNT for my tractor as well as possibly replacing the valve assembly for my loader.
I have a JD 2240 tractor with a CC hydraulic system. My pump supplies 9GPM at 2200-2300PSI (per the tech manual). The first thing I am going to look at is the loader valve. Here are some pix of the current valve.

I'd like to replace it with a joystick as I am more familiar with the joystick than the dual valve handles.
The first main issue I have run into in looking at new valves is that they all seem to have the work ports on top which conflicts with the factory design. I want to eventually add a grapple to the bucket and would prefer for it to have it's own valve rather than tapping off the curl/dump valve. I also am not overly interested in using electric-over-hydraulic valves though this is not set in stone depending on the accuracy and fine control ability of the valve vs cost.
