Hi JJ...thanks for the info....I realize operating two levers simultaneously is an issue....for instance dumping/opening the grapple as the loader arms are being raised for one smooth and seamless operation...I'm a little leery about the electrical 12V thing....those valves still need to be plumbed in and 12V is just one more thing that can go wrong...at least with the 3rd function lever valve there is no other issue to be concerned with other than maintaining hydraulic pressure to keep things moving.
Up where I live, the only local distributor of reasonably priced hydraulic components is Princess Auto...the only 12v selector valve they have is this one @ $249.99 so it would be more expensive than the lever valve which is $149.99.
I'm curious though, what is the difference between a 3rd function solenoid valve and diverter/selector valve?...I thought they were basically the same (12V)...if not, how are they installed and operate differently?....thanks for your input.
