So, I have all the information that I think I need, but I really need some help configuring all of this. I have a Mahindra 1538 with the Power Beyond kit for a backhoe. I also have a Post Driver that has a Salami VDM8 monoblock valve. What I am trying to do is use the existing Power Beyond hookup to feed the Salami valve, but still have the 3Pt hitch operational. The VDM8 has a diagram for a Power Beyond configuration, but I really do not trust myself enough yet to get these hoses in the right ports. I know that for the PD I will need to have the return just dump into the sump - that is not a problem. I just want to run the PB through the Salami valve so that when I am not pressurizing the cylinder for the driver, I can lift the 3pt hitch and move it to the next location.
The three images here are the flow for the backhoe, the port diagram for the Salami valve in general, and the diagram for configuring the valve for use with Power Beyond.
