i was woundering if 2 of this joysticks Brand Hydraulics Monoblock Loader Valve | Control Valves | Northern Tool + Equipment would work to operate a backhoe arm

and if not if anyone knows of a joysticks that would work.

thanks for any replys

Should work but you would need two of them plus a flow divider and two more single valves for the stabilizers if you are going to have them.
I just installed a valve I bought from Bailynet.com here's a link to the one I used Directional Control Valves 220-951 Detailed Information

I purchased two of the Brand joystick valves from Hydraulic supply, looks very similar. Mine also has power beyond. I purchased them to use on a backhoe that I am building. They can use up to 10 GPM at 4000 psi.

The valve you purchased from Baileys was not available when I purchased from hydraulic supply. I wished I had waited a while.

Do you plan on installing a "flow divider" or will it not be necessary with these joysticks? It is my understanding that in order to use them simultaneously a flow divider (not sure of the terminology) is required.
Having only installed three valves ( a 4 spool loader, a single spool and now the 6 spool for the backhoe) I'm pretty much a hydraulics rookie.

I am thinking about using the PB port to feed the other valve. I also have an aux circuit I could use for the other valve. I may also use electric valves for some functions. Decisions, decisions.

Correct me if my thinking is wrong but would not the power beyond port only supply pressure to the other joystick when the first one is not being used? It's quite possible I do not have a good grasp on the function of a power beyond.
Welderboy14, be careful and take any of my hydraulics remarks with a grain of salt!

I thought I said that, but yes, you are correct. The first valve in line has priority. Now, with the valve you have, if you can do two things at the same time, then that is good, although each one will will be slower if used together.

By using another circuit, you can get around the two valves which are connected by the PB port. So if I use the electric valve on the aux circuit, I can swing and dump at the same time. I have a 12 GPM flow on one circuit, and about 3 GPM on the other. A flow divider might work, with equal GPM to each circuit.

This flow divider below is a 50/50 valve that will divide the input GPM to two separate circuits.

This one is less expensive. Has a 70/30 split.

I stand corrected. You did say previously you might use your "aux circuit" for the second joystick.
