Well if Summit made a kit then presumably they would use electric valves like they do with the other kits. I'm going to guess that the reason you ask is because the electric valves don't have a PB port, right?

Here's my attempt to diagram the plumbing for both backhoe on and off operation...this what you're thinking?

Backhoe ON

Code:
P ----> BH P
T <---- BH T
        BH PB ----> RR P
                    RR T ---> PB
Backhoe OFF

Code:
P ----> RR P
        RR T ----> PB
T no connection
I see no advantage to that.

Just run the tractor P line to IN on the electrIc valve and feed the backhoe off of the OUT port on the electric valve. You are done.

When.you remove the backhoe loop the backhoe feed to the tractor return exactly as you always did.

The remotes are in the circuit with or without the backhoe.

I did call your customer service and they didn't have a clue as to how to handle this. I explained that it was purchased through Amazon and shipped by Summit and that it was past the return period. I also mentioned that I was instructed to call customer service by a post on OTT. Was told that it would have to wait till the "manager" came back from vacation. That was about 3 weeks ago, and not one email, or call.

A little excess line on BX, which could be corrected. they come into contact when lifting implement. this may cause so premature wear on lines. I did let Summit know this with marked photos. and I also wrapped hyd. lines, enveloped with radiator hose to cut down on chafing, just a little extra protection.
