WHY DO I NEED A REMOTE PORT?bx-23

[escavader]

On my new snowblower,the dealer says i need a remote to plug into to run the chute control.Idont see why i cant plug into my backhoe portsjust like i was hooking up the hoe[utilizing out and return line]run it to a log splitter control handle,which i mount permanetly in my cab,then run out to the blower with the two hoses,to operate the double acting cylinder on the chute control.Idont really want a remote if i dont need one.It aint like i can run the hoe and blower at the same timeWhen im getting ready for winter i can put the cab on,install the blower and using the quick connects simply hook it up.WHY WONT IT WORK?The dealer didnt answer me,he only seemed to want to install a 750 dollar remote.Id like to not have this moved to hydraulics,because mabey there is someone with a bx22,23 or 24 who has done this

That will work just fine, plumbing a valve into the powerbeyond line that feeds the hoe has been done lots of times before...

Just make sure the valve is a Open Center, 4-way, and Spring return to neutral valve.

Lots of info like this in the hydraulics forum...

Thanks,KENNY i was hoping it would work.My neighbor who works for a heavy equipment company thought it would after i took the plate off the hoe controls to show him what was there.Looked like the same idea as a log splitter control,just with multiple ports.Ibelieve its called an open centered system,is that correct?He was worried it might be a closed centered system?
Iknow 100 bucks for a control valve is a heck of a lot better than 500 for the parts for a remote
I will mount it in the cab,when i take off the hoe,and mount the blower, and put my cab on ,simply plug it in:
Dont think id ever use the remote for any thing

Yes, read this again

Open Center, 4-way, and Spring return to neutral valve.

KENNY,
Iwas also wondering about relief.Would i have some sort of protection,or should i say does the lines with the backhoe unhooked have some sort of relief ,or would the valve i buy have it? Im not the greatest with hydraulics,but i try

Your system has a mian relif valve on the tractor, and the new valve may or may not have a relief valve on it...you will be fine.

If this is the Kubota blower and quick hitch, then you will only be using one circuit on your loader valve for raise and lower. I think you could used the other (dump/curl) to run the chute.

Are you using the Kubota front blower using the subframe and loader control valve or is this a rear mounted blower?

If rear, I understand but if front why are you not using the loader valve? It would have to be a 4 way - not 3 as the regen port for the bucket circuit won't return the chute.

Anyhow - just wondering why all the plumbing when the 4 way loader valve makes this easy.

Iam keeping my loader on
Its a rear mounted blower[PRONOVOST PUMA]Iam looking in NORTHERN TOOL,cant figure out which one best suits my application.Trying to go by what KENNY D said.OPEN CENTERED ,spring return,4 way.
If anyone could reccomend one from a paticular # id appreciate it.

Does it have to be from Northern Tool? Can I link something from the Surplus center?
