Single action or double action Valves?

[Firefighter Kubota]

I'm looking to install a set of rear remotes on my Bota 7510 with the following intention of current and future attachments...

I have a plow, w/ manual angle. Has two cylinders (one on each side for power angle) with a single inlet and no outlets on each... Is it easier to replace those with a single dual action cylinder and dual action valve or run singe action valve to it.

future plans are for a grapple and will need to hook up my log splitter in the spring.

So I'd like to install a 2 spool with a PB... Best option? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks...

BTW, Kenny, i still have the info you gave me on my last hydraulic post but this is a different set up...

Assuming that this is a standard straight blade, if you keep those cylinders you can hook them up to a double acting valve (in fact you would have to hook them to a double acting valve), one ram hooks to each side of the valve, this is because when one ram extends the other is forced to retract, if you hook it to a pair of single acting valves you will bend something because when you extend one side the other wont be able to retract.

I put the optional 3rd scv kit on my JD4310 which utilizes an unused/spare valve on the loaders valve block, for a power angle snow plow, I don't know that much about hydraulics but got some help here.

I believe it's a double acting valve since it has 1 lever but powers the single acting cylinders on the plow by moving it (the lever) both ways. going thru 2 remotes on the rear. I know this would work for a grapple or any other DA cylinder not sure about the log splitter.

Thanks guys...I thought it was all DA valves, Just wanted to be sure....

Not sure if this is what you would want, but Kennyd showed me this valve that I purchased based on his recommendation. So I blame him if it doesn't work.

I'm still working on fittings, so I can't say how it performs yet. Only have 3 different types of fittings on mine: NPT, O-ring, O-ring face seal and nobody carries standard conversions around here.

I'm trying to learn here, would this valve in the link operate 2 single acting cylinders as well as 2 DA cylinders.

Man! My name is getting thrown around a lot in this thread

Fire K...
I think you got your answer...two SA cylinders work work great on a DA valve, The valve see's two SA cylinders as one DA cylinder.

How about this: 2 DA's and 4 SA's

OK I think I'm getting it, 2 opposing sa cylinders per spool?
