joystick

sitting here waiting for the 422,with nothing to do,you think of things that would make a better mouse trap. why not put three levers on the right side to replace the joystick and the quick attach lever.when you plow snow all you would use would be the hoist and the angle,after the tilt was set.the joystick has a tendency to make the tilt move unless you are very careful . then if you would get the hoe attachment the bucket would work easer. that would work great for the loader too,that way it would be like the big boys /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

We've had some similar discussions on this. There is an electric diverter valve that comes with a joystick handle. It has 5 buttons in it, so, depending on which function you want the joystick to do, you just select a different button. Very cool, but also very expensive. I was considering putting a second joystick on the left of the steering column, but I think I'll stick with looking for an electric diverter valve for now. I've found a few, but still can't justify the cost. I don't mind the knee lever for the quick attach, but would like a joystick button to control the angle function.

ward makes a 3 spool valve, one with float for less than 120.00 that would handle everything.hoist, tilt,and quick attach

I would like to have a variety of options - i like charlies joy
stick - but I would also like to have a separate switch activated aux with outlets (or valve that stay on) for accessories that will be controlled with a separate valves (dump hopper, b/h etc)
I would also like to have a built in reversing switch for the PTO

that can be done two ways,the first,no cost and easy,put both female ends on the tractor.switch hoses this will change the direction of the motor if it's reversible.second, buy a motor spool valve with a free wheel neutral, and some hoses a lot of work
