- kubota bx23
I have a Kubota BX24. Looking to add a third function on the FEL to control a snow plow, dual single acting cylinder power angle setup. I plan on using the rear hydraulic connections for backhoe. Want to maintain existing use of lift and tilt of the FEL. I understand I need a 3-way single spool directional valve with power beyond/open center capability, preferably spring centering where forward or left of center would power left piston and back or right of center power right cylinder. Being single acting cylinders, one would work against the other to return fluid back thru the output line of valve and back to tank. At center, both A and B outlet internal ports are in a closed position to maintain blade position. After several hours of Google searching, I have yet to get a clear picture of a valve with this capability. I see it as a 5 port, P, T, PB, A and B outputs. Can some please suggest a valve make and model number fitting this criteria? Lots of info out there for 4-way valves, 3-way not so much. Need help!
