FORD 5000 - Rear Remote Hydraulics Question

[KellyB]

Hey Folks,
I recently bought a 3 Pt Snow Blower with a hydraulic chute rotator. I don't have a rear remote control valve set-up, so I'm looking for recommendations and it would appear there's 4 choices:

a) Single Spool without Detents
b) Single Spool with Detents
c) Double Spool w/o Detents
d) Double Spool w/ Detents

Which one would you go with and why?

Where would you shop for it?

I also have a PTO cement mixer with a hydraulic top link cylinder that I'd like to use.

Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Kelly

Detents are overrated. Buy double spool if you have the funds. You may need to control two cylinders in the future.
