I am reasearching adding a three spool remote valve to my Kubota L3400 rated at ~7GPM Plan to use two spools for TnT and one for who knows what.
I know that I need an open centered valve with power beyond which is designed to control dual acting cylinders.
Figured I am better off with a monoblock configuration so that I don't have to muck with putting the valve together.
I can't figure out why the price difference between these two and thought that those more hydraulically knowledgable than me might be able to shed some light and/or suggest a better / less expensive alternative.
1. 3 SPOOL 20 GPM GRESEN
2. 3 SPOOL 25 GPM PRINCE with the optional PB sleeve
Confused because the Prince seems to outspec the Gresen (not that I need either 20 or 25 GPM!) and is slightly smaller (which is a slight advantage).
Any others that I should consider that might work just as well and be more economical?
Thought about saving a bit and going to a 2 spool valve but figure I better go with 3 while I am at it
