2005 Kubota MX5000 and Woods BH9000 hoe

It would be impossible. You can't have the spools of a single valve working from different hydraulic sources. You would have to have multiple valves with multiple hydraulic sources.

If you want a backhoe that operates multiple functions simultaneously, the only cosrt effective way to accomplish this is to purchase a TLB that has multiple pumps and multiple valve blocks for the backhoe (ie. an L48).

I agree, impossible with one valve. Now with 2 valves and a PTO pump
as a 2nd pump, it is an interesting project. $500 for the PTO pump and
res, and $500 for a second Prince stack valve pair. Way cheaper
than an L48 or L39.

Since a CUT hoe uses a stack valve, two valves can be removed from
the existing stack and another independent valve can be installed
next to it. The problem I see is that to use joysticks, you really
need to put 2 circuits on each pump and be able to fit the 2 independent stack valves under the b/h panel. Not a lot of room to work with.

I personally have learned from many hours on one-pump hoes how to
be very productive with feathering my valves.

Since I have the rear remotes running the hoe right now, I was throwing around the idea of using the remotes to run the swing function and using the PTO and tank for the rest. I haven't looked into the seperate spool valves yet. The L48 must use something like that. I'm guessing those spool valves are probably really pricey and may not fit on the Woods BH9000 console.

I can feather the hoe controls pretty well, but the slowness can be a little frustrating. I wouldn't really care so much if I was just using it around the house. A little commercial work on the weekends is pushing me to do this. I could get more work done faster. I could go pick up a Case , Ford, or another TLB, but just trying to pay off the one I have. If the commercial work dries up or get tired of doing it, I don't have to worry about using that sized maching on my 4.2 acres.
