I'm running my blower chute motor from the third function ports on the loader arm. Before next winter, I'll be getting a sander with a similar size motor (8gpm). I'll never be blowing and sanding at the same time. What kind of "two channel" valve should I use that will simultaneously switch the Pressure and Return from one set of hoses to the other?
Electrically operated two channel A/B hydraulic valve?

Can you run a second valve and switch using power beyond off the existing valve?

What is your current third function valve like? Is it actuall a third function (like a valve on a D003 plate)? or is it diverted type. Picture would help.
Assuming the sander is on the back, do you have remotes? Have you considered remotes?

You need a diverter valve. It will do exactly what you're looking for.
Like this?:
Hydraulic Multiplier Kit, SCV Splitter/Diverter Valve Including Couplers and Switch Box Control
Sure helps when you know the right name of the device. This looks like it will split in addition to divert, i.e. A+B in addition to A or B. That's not something I need, because I'll never run the chute at the same time as the sander. Also somewhat more than I'd hope to pay, but it certainly looks like it would work. I already have hoses running to the rear from the Loader crossbar, so I'd probably mount this right there where the existing hoses from the third function valve is (Yes, it's the standard Kubota valve down near the right hand door, operated via a button on the main control lever.) Thanks for the input.

they make ones that just divert from A+B ports to C+D: https://www.ebay.com/p/Hydraulic-So...r-Valve-12-Volt-DC/765926774?iid=302907102762
That's perfect! Thanks. Now that I know what they're called I found some manual ones on NorthernTool. But I'd have to get out of the cab (perish the thought!). This one seems a good compromise.

Plumbing in a second (assuming it’s same as your third function valve) DO3 style valve would also work and may provide more flexibility. Probably a cheaper valve too. A different approach to solving the problem.
I thought of that, but there's absolutely no room where the current one is mounted. It's a single block manifold...the ports look like DO3 pattern but it's a Kubota thing I believe.
