I suppose a two spool valve, like my FEL has would be handy in case I wanted to add a cylinder to the three point for the box scraper or blade. The forward and back could be used for raise and lower and the left and right for the flail shift cylinder. I would guess that is a pretty spendy valve however and a two spool valve with two handles would be much less expensi ve. Any other important tips on valves other than open center with at least 1/2" ports?
