What this world needs (or at least, my world) is a FEL joystick operated dual spool control block sized for around 5-6gpm, in keeping with the capabilities and capacities of the average SCUT.

The smallest controls can handle around 10gpm (Summit's smallest is 11gpm). Yes, a 10gpm can handle 3 gpm obviously but control is ticklishy sensitive. Smaller spool valves should provide a better graduation at low flow rates.

Ideally, the control would come with 4 position spool valves; adding Float to the boom circuit and regenerative flow to the dump at the 4th position of each. And offer the PB adapter as part of the package -- don't make me go hunt down the correct adapter.

I realize that Summit imports their valves (from Finland, IIRC?). But maybe your buying power has some influence with the manufacturer?

Just my 2¢.

I placed an order yesterday for a 3 circuit and 4 circuit multiplier for the MX and M respectively. I also emailed the folks in Canada who sell the Scorpion grips to get a price on the S Series with a momentary trigger and two momentary buttons on the faceplate. I'll be able to control snow blower chute rotation and deflector angle with the same lever in the cab simply by pushing one of the two buttons on the faceplate and moving the lever. The trigger can be used for a third function such as to control a top hydraulic link or hydraulic lift rod link. Too bad you're not a dealer for Scorpion.

Sure Grip S Series control handle with one or two functions.

Sure Grip S Series control handle with one or two functions. Single Trigger, up to 2 faceplate buttons, long life snap action switches, field replaceable switches.

Thank you for the feedback!

@Summit Hydraulics, I received both multipliers this past Tuesday and will say that the quality of the kits exceeded my expectations. Those blocks are stout, and heavy! Packaging was top notch, and the only odd thing to me is the steel bracket that's included. Not sure I'll be using it, but if so, it might get incorporated into some custom mounting system.

Thanks for the 15% discount, and for offering quality kits to help us out.
