This valve with the joystick would present a much more challenging mount. I will have to look at the tractor to see what could be made and where it might attach on the tractor. Also it appears with this vale I would need a PB sleeve.

I also made my own rear remotes. It was really simple, much like the ones on the Mahindra.
I simply came out of my FEL valve's PB port, about $30 for the fitting. I then got a two spool valve. Something like this.Prince Two-Spool Control Valve, Model# RD522GCGA5A4B1 | Control Valves | Northern Tool + Equipment I paid less than $200
The rest was just the fittings, hoses, and some steel to make the brackets. I mounted it on the fender also. I had about $200 more in just the 6 hoses. The feed and return were about 8' long and the 4 work hoses were about 3' each. I branched off via a "T" on the return line prior to the system filter. Works great. Probably got close to $600 in it. Just no way to do it cheap and have it work the way I wanted.
As for using the FEL valve that is one way of doing it but the worst solution in my eyes. I love having both working for dirt work and snow removal.

He only has 8.4 GPM. so the valve I posted above would be better for his application.

Can you show a diagram how you did this, or describe the setup in more detail.
Did you use the diverter valve to select the curl hyd to send to the back, or did you set it up to select between the FEL valve and the remote valve?
If you only used it to divert the curl hyd, you would have to hold the lever in a locked position to operate the remote valve.
After going out to the tractor, there was nos a way that I could see to use the joystick valve. My three point hitch control is on my right and then the fender. The fender comes up fairly high and flares out to the right to give some extra room. That valve is 17" from the top of joy stick to bottom of the valve, so that would male the joystick to far above the fender. And there is no where between the seat and the fender to locate it.
I have ordered the first valve you told me about, JJ. The 9-7693 it is the 2 sool valve. I can mount this on the fender and have a bracket made over the lines and around the valve. The plumbing will all be fairly short and if I am lucky the existing PB line to the TPH will work for the inlet line of the new valve.
I will repost after work is done. I will try to remember to take photos also as I do the work.

Well, I got the remotes installed after having to start and stop work on them due to health issues. Everything works except the remotes! The three point hitch, the FEL work fine. I can't see that anything is plumbed wrong and I am not sure where to start to troubleshoot. If someone can give me some advice of how to start looking, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also I just tried one of the rear remotes on a hydraulic top link and that is what is not working.

Check item 3 in the link and make sure it is installed.

Can you take a pic of the remote valve with hoses installed, and tell us which hose in mounted where?
Some tractors have a switch to include the remote valve in the flow path. My Kubota does. .
I remember that you called Surplus about the power beyond plug and they told you it came installed, but I will check tomorrow. I also will take a photo and label the hoses.
I installed this valve between the FEL and the 3 pt hitch, so I am not sure how a switch would affect this valve.
Thanks for the help.
