Can I add top n tilt this way?

Tee, I'll look up what fitting I used. I also changed the tank hose on the FEL to a straight fitting. The elbow was not useful.
He could pick it up with his bale spear though and really clean underneath! Might have to cancel my New Orleans trip this weekend and head north.
The Tee I used was from Amazon. It is a 1/2" male x male x female swivel Tee.

Thank you sir. I’m still in the planning and gathering parts phase. Work and life are crazy busy right now, along with keeping up with the grass so it will be a fall or winter project.
Can I use the hoses\ports that go to my backhoe? Can I just connect them to https://www.amazon.com/Prince-MB21B...rds=MB21BB5C1&qid=1565180576&s=gateway&sr=8-1 and then connect to a hydraulic top link?
I have a B3200 2012 model with BH76 hoe.

Yes you can, but if you read back through this thread it not just plug and play into the backhoe ports. You will need the power beyond plug for the valve you linked. Use your pressure line into the the hoe to feed your valve, power beyond port from the valve back to your back hoe return port, then a third hose for the tank line off the valve.
And if you go back to post 15, Wolfman linked a valve that has a float position. That will be the one I will use.
Does the valve I quoted have the necessary ports? (I see where the description states, "Field convertible to power beyond and closed center") What does this mean? Where would the third hose physically attach on my tractor?
Thanks!!

Here’s the instructions for that valve. You will need to get the plug for the power beyond. Third hose will either be Teed into the tank line at the hydraulic block like micheal referenced or find a plug in the case to return it to the tank (unsure if there is a plug you can use on your particular model)

Thank you! It is starting to become clearer, although I don't fully understand why the hoe works without the third line. I assume that it has something to do with the fact that you can't really use the 3pt hitch with the hoe attached.
That is pretty much it. 3rd functions also don't have a return, yet you can use the 3pt at the same time. Weird. However, be prudent and get the power beyond port plug.
