But still, in that configuration, the stabilizers aren't going to really stabilize much.

Sure they would. Not as well as 2 independent outriggers, perhaps, but
you would likely not notice, IMO.

On my property I almost always have to level out the backhoe. You should think about using the 5th spool for a hydralic thumb and get a "power Beyond" adaptor and add a 2 spool valve for the stabilizers?

I personally think that this is a better idea. If the spool that you have already has PB the nit would be a simple matter to add another separate 2 spool valve to power the stabilizers. I cannot think of a time when you would use the stabilizers at the same time as the bh. In fact, if you already have 2 rear remotes, you could separately power the stabilizers through those and not even have to add a second valve.

It sounds like I'm back to the same two options that I started with...

1) Add valves to the system for hydraulic stabilizers
2) Design the backhoe with manual stabilizers

Anyone have any thoughts about the pros and cons of the two?

With manual stabilizers, you will have to get off and raise them to move, and put them back down for digging, . How are you going to level the manual stabilizers? With hyd stabilizers, push lever, raise , move tractor, let down, and work, actually not a real decision. Hyd all the way.

One valve will work if you put shut off valve to each cyl, and open the one you want to raise/lower.

Two electric valves will work, located downstream of the BH valve, just flip a switch.

Iplay, I think you're right about interconnected stabilizers not doing much. It might work to put a dual pilot operated check valve on each cylinder to run them off one valve. If it was me I'd use separate control valves. I run mine off the rear remotes. Not ideal but good enough for me.

I agree with JJ. Unless it's mounted on a 3ph with downforce, I can't envision a decent workflow with manual outriggers on a tractor mounted backhoe.

just an idea of how to indaipdently move the outriggers with out buying another valve. so heres my idea.
( just have the one valve for the outrigers but get a hydraulic ball valve that can switch the flow to one or the other and then you can switch the flow to 1 ciylinder and put it down were you want it and then switch the flow to the other ciylinder and put it down.;)

should work

The shut off valve to both sides appeals to me. I was thinking at first that I'd have to get a selector valve which costs almost as much as just buying another two spool.

Here's the thing about the shutoff... I'd need to shut off both hoses. Is that what something like this does?

If I went with a ball valve, I'd need two per side. That means I'd need to turn four valves every time I switched from one side to the other.
