I'm thinking of adding rear remotes to my B3030 to operated a dump trailer. Just currious what they cost and where can you get them on line? Pictures of your current setup would be great.
I added (I mean my dealer) 2 aux. valves on my former BX23 (to operate a snowblower). If I remember well, it cost me 500$CAD installed at the dealer. With my present knowlegde I can say that it was expensive for aux. valves mounted on the rops. I should have done the job myself but I didn't know at that time. (1st pic)
I bought my B3030 with the 2 remotes mounted into the fender... it cost around 1000$CAD. More expensive, pretty look, but it's completely insane (IMHO) for aux. valves. (2nd and 3rd pics)
I'm pretty sure you can find a single spool valve for 100$, more or less (mounted on the rops). As always, quality comes with a price. If you don't have a backhoe you should think right now if you want a valve with a float position or not in case you want to use a log splitter later on. Of course you could use an elastic to hold a valve opened without float. As for where to buy online, I don't know, sorry.

Factory rear remotes list for about $650 for the first one and $425 for the second. This does not include installation.
There are cheaper ways to go about it. I have posted several times on how to do it with a Prince SV valve (I did it on my B2710). You should be able to do 2 spools for well under $400.
