Hey folks , I have a L3301 HST with loader & a BH77 . My snow blower wants hydraulics for chute rotation . Since I'll have my hoe off is there a way I can get a hydraulic 2 spool valve & plumb the BH lines into it & have it do the rotation & use that spool valve as a start for a TnT setup ? When I pull the blower off I can use one of the spools for either my top or tilt but stull have the lines for the hoe available ? I'll get the #'s off the hydraulic chute tomorrow . What type of valve will I need if this turns out to be a workable idea ?
thanks

Yes - this question is asked on a regular basis and has been answered many times.

All you need is an inexpensive directional control valve with power beyond capability. Pick a mounting spot for the valve. Then:
  1. Disconnect the backhoe supply line from the power beyond port on the LA525 loader valve.
  2. Using a new hose of appropriate length connect the power beyond port on the loader valve to the pressure IN port on your new valve.
  3. Connect the backhoe supply hose to the power beyond port on your new valve. If need be use a new hose and a union to extend it enough to reach the new valve.
  4. Using a new hose of appropriate length tee the tank return port on the new valve into the tank return hose from the loader valve. That is easily done at the hydraulic outlet block under the right floor board where the loader's tank return connects to the tractor.
Your valve is now installed and ready for use. Using new hoses run your work circuits and install couplers as appropriate for the blower and TnT. Your new valve can have as many spools as you need/want. You continue to use the OEM backhoe outlets just like you always have. The new outlets and valve can be used with the back hoe on or off the tractor.

Thanks . I guess my search wasn't specific enough . Will a valve that works a cylinder operate a hydraulic motor ? . I found a few valves & asked the vendors but they haven't answered my questions about the motor . I specifically asked about the motor on my question to them & they replied that the valve would operate a ram . I'll get links to the valves I was looking at & see what you folks have to say .
thanks

A standard DA cylinder valve will operate your motor. There is no need to spend a lot of money on a valve. This will do everything you need.


You would also need teh power beyond conversion sleeve for that valve:

Research this thread - a little one spool valve like I put on my tractor would do exactly what you want.
