Have two Branson 2017 2400H tractors. One has a skid steer quick attach and the other does not. The SL00 quick attach has a joystick with cables to the valve below. The cables keep sticking. Disassembled, cleaned, and lubed a few times and am still having issues. I would prefer a joystick/valve combo (like my other tractor) and was wondering if anyone replaced their joystick with a reasonably priced generic one, hopefully with float.

I have not but will. Is it just me but isn’t a combined joystick/control valve simpler and therefore more reliable than cable operation?

Cables can require more maintenance and or adjustment vs mounted joystick but base valves are typically very similar if not the same.

The cable/valve setup is easier to locate and place for the manufacturer.

Many of the cables are standard morse cables. I never figured out how to ID the different series though.
On a Kubota M108S I replaced a jury rigged setup using components from Buyers Products.
I used their B206305 dual axis joystick.
I mounted the joystick then measured and bought the cables.
For simplicity I bought it all off Amazon. I did have to drill the bulkhead holes out larger on the loader valve mount for the bulkhead mounting of the cable sheath. The Buyers cable have 1/4"-28 threads on the cable/rod and 3/4"-16 on the sheath. If you remove your cable and do some measurements you can see if it would work or not. If not they sell a few cable connection kits that might work.
Hope this helps!

I do not like the valve in the cab as it makes the cab darned hot and its louder. The cables are a pain and require maintenance, but are much nicer in my opinion.

The rocker plate is broken, which would be the cause of your sticking.
