2800h sl00 loader - Adding Remotes

[rockthisokc]

Hey guys.. i recently picked up a 2800h and it had an upgraded loader (the sl00) one. I still cant find specs on this loader and its lift. I feel like i hit the relief alot while forking loads, etc. This is a separate question that i'll verify upon a gauge check.

Either way my question is regarding remotes. I'm looking to add remote for a rake/thumb and also for future front and rear implements.

I was going todo a diverter valve, but since i want to add multiple i feel like i should add seperate valves to power the remotes.

I currently have a Besko valve, and after looking online cant determine which ports are what. I have the following coming out of loader joystick:
C, T, and P... i would assume p is power.. but why would T go back to the SAME splitter the power comes off of? (right after the pump).. c looks like it goes back to tractor. I can snap a pic if that will help.

I'm kind of stumped where to plumb this new valve in. Should i use a power beyond port, and if so which port is it? Or should i just T off the power power going to the loader and split it over to my new valve.. this makes the most since to me. But i'm somewhat new to hydraulics.

Any help would be appreciated, or if someone has a hydro diagram of the 2800h that would be awesome!

Rock,
On my 2400H the connections are like this. See attached photo

From the pump to a round connection block.
Round connection block Top port is pressure to the loader valve.
Round connection block Lower port power beyond from the loader valve.

Tank from the loader valve MUST go directly to tank.

If you add a valve BEFORE the existing loader valve it MUST have a relief valve in it. If you add valves in the power beyond line you do NOT need a relief valve in it. The existing relief in the loader valve will protect your system.

That makes perfect sense. I feel like my hose label might just be swapped, because i would assume the power beyond goes back to the pressure system more or less. My lower port hose says "T" and i know this is not right. i think they might have just labeled it wrong.

Regardless this helps me to where i put the next valve in.

So i should be getting a two spool valve (or however many i want) open center with power beyond. The power beyond out of current loader valve goes to input power of the new valve. And power beyond of that valve goes back to the lower port on the splitter off the pump.

Of course the tank i'll just T into the tank return port on the existing loader valve.

Most of these include adjustable relief regardless and usually set at 2K. Not sure how that effects me, i heard that all reliefs in system must be same.

Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: The valve that i'd be looking at http://www.surpluscenter.com/2-SPOO...OC-VALVE/edp_no=29869/shop.axd/ProductDetails
Another possible option http://www.surpluscenter.com/2-SPOO...DA-VALVE/edp_no=40357/shop.axd/ProductDetails not sure if the GPM is enough.

I would highly recommend that if you are only going to get a 2 spool valve set, that you go with some stacking valves so that it is much easier to add valves in the future if needed. Look for something in the 10-15 GPM range. Very common to want more hydraulics once you get the taste of having 1 or 2, you want more.

Just a heads up.
