I have a set of remotes on my 5030. I also have the main hydraulic feed lines for the BH90 back there. I am going to be building a rebar bender that will run off of the tractor hydraulics and would like to maintain local-to-the-bender bend control. I was planning on installing a spool valve with detent option at the bender for this. I would rather keep the backhoe connected and use the tractor's remotes. Plans are to use a 3x8 cylinder for this purpose since it was the smallest that my local Northern Tool had in stock. Question: Can I just press the remote lever one way or another from the driver seat and have it stay there (allowing flow) and use the bender-mounted spool valve to control things there or do I have to use the BH90's hydraulic supply for this? I want the use of the bender to be a one-man operation.
