Supply for T&T control

[otter]

I know, yet another t&t question/thread.
Can a backhoe fluid supply be used for a t&t control valve? 6.2 gpm on a l3800.
That would save loads of plumbing and simplify install for a rookie hydraulic guy.
Summit valve with Fitright cylinders was my thought.
looked at tractor innovations but you get one spool out if that. Looking for two.
thank you.
always read the postings. The knowledge and opinions are valuable.

Yes and my reccomendation:

A) Mount your T&T valve to a location of your choice on the tractor

B) Disconnect the supply coming to the backhoe outlet coupler and reroute it to the inlet on your T&T valve using new hose as needed.

C) Run a new hose from power beyond port on T&T valve to the backhoe supply outlet you disconnected in step A).

D) Using a new hose andva tee connect T port on T&T valve to any tank return port or line. You CANNOT use the backhoe return for that purpose.

Done and ready to hook up your rear outlets.

Only thing to add... Get three spools/valves, used the third for a grapple (sometime in the future?) It's easy to add it now vs. later. Keep it capped off until you need it.
