Kubota BX23
I am looking to add a valve to control a single ended cylinder by connecting to where the hoe normally attaches and has a bypass line connected when the hoe is not attached. I believe this to be a power-beyond circuit and would need an appropriate valve. Has anyone done this? Which valve was used? I'm hoping to connect the valve / new cylinder equipment in the same way the hoe is connected.

TIA for suggestions.

You can do that if you use a valve with PB.

You simply take the BH supply and feed it to the new valve and run the PB from that valve to the 3pt IN port or the BH.

You need to match the GPM of your tractor with the valve flow.

Did you mean a SA cyl or a DA cyl.

Thanks for the reply and valve recommendation. The primary project is a SA cylinder, but I may consider other attachments that may be DA. I'm thinking not attaching the line on the B port or blocking would be OK for SA. Right? I'm now researching the valve, fittings and hoses needed to get an idea of the complete budget and availability. Here is a pic of the attachment point. 20150408_140609.jpg

After some digging, I've found out the total BX23 flow is 5.5 GPM. What's your opinion on this valve? 1 SPOOL 8 GPM PRINCE MB11B5C1 DA VALVE

Now I need to determine what type QD fittings I need.

The valve you posted will work fine.
