I am new to TBN (well I've been lurking and reading for a few months now) but now I am ready to dive in. I would first like to say that the TBN forums are totally awesome, and you guys are extremely helpful. And please excuse if I use the incorrect lingo as I am still learning
I have a Kubota L4740 to which I recently added a L90 BH and PB/QC in the rear done by the dealer. I have been reading and reading as much as I could find about adding some rear controls for a T-N-T (yes probably going with Fit Rite) for my boxes and blades, dump trailer, No-till drill, and a 3pt log splitter. I have a few quick questions if someone can confirm for me as I am a noob at hydraulics and would like to get this right:
1. As I understand it, for the Log Splitter I can use the same QC that the BH uses as the Splitter already has the control built in. So I don't need to add anything.
2. For the TNT, I would need 2 4way 3pos center spring spools. Should they be center open or closed? And if I use QCs for this I can also use these 2 spools for the No-till drill.
3. As for the dump trailer there is only one line coming from the cylinder, so as I understand it that would be a 3way (single acting) 3 pos center spring spool, and I assume center closed?
With all that I would only need a three spool valve like https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=9SV-3-Y&catname=hydraulic with PB of course. From what I read I can change the center to open or closed for each spool depending on need. If anyone can confirm that, it would be awesome.
Lastly, I need and IN/OUT to the new CV. I was wondering if it's possible to reuse the PB/QC already added in the rear for the BH as the in/out to the new CV and then use the PB of the new CV for the BH and Log splitter? I assume with the already existing FEL and the PB in the rear, there are no more PB ports to use without "teeing" either the FEL or the rear PBs, or should I use a diverter valve between the existing rear PB and the new CV? (the last option seems sub-optimal to me as I would never use the BH and the other attachments at the same time).
Again I would just like to say that with TBN I would never be able to attempt this. But as I plan to do all of my own work from now on and going into the winter, I am committed to do this myself.
