I have a 1968 John Deere 500. It has around 23 gpm flow from the hydraulic pump. The tractor has a 13ft backhoe and is 80 hp. I need to replace the 6 spool backhoe control valve because it can't be repaired correctly.
The only good quality aftermarket part that I can find only has 12 gpm. It's a prince valve (6 Spool Hydraulic Valve w/Joysticks Prince SV | Directional Control Valves | Hydraulic Valves | Hydraulics | www.surpluscenter.com)
My question is: Does anyone know if backhoe control valves utilize the full gpm flow from the hydraulic pump? Trying to figure out if I am going to be severely limiting the functionality.
Thanks.
