Just to suggest perhaps another option...

My loader valve originaly had two levers, one for up/down, the other was tilt/dump. I used a joystick from an unused valve laying in a friend's parts pile, and installed it on my valve. Looks and works like it has always been there.

You could replace your two spool valve with a similar three spool model, install your old joystick on two spools, and have the third function right there on the side.

I like your idea, It didn't occur to my that I may be able to use my joystick with a three spool block.

What I would love is a 3d joystick. I've never seen one on a tractor though.

3D... now there's a thought!

How 'bout a motorcycle throttle style twist control cable controlling a valve via the cable? I don't see a use for myself (yet, give me a minute), but it sounds cool!

No use for it? I'd post pictures and brag. Oh, you mean on the farm.

If you get a 3 spool valve, you can put the joystick on two spools and have a lever on the third spool used for the extra function.

This is what I am doing with mine. I needed 2 more valves and my orignal was over 20 years old an leaky. So I bought one of these New Parker 4-Section V10 Joy Stick Hydraulic Valve - (eBay item 160189984791 end time Dec-21-07 21:09:20 PST)

Provided it is functional it should solve most of my problems. If I need to run a hyd motor I will run it off of my rear hydro.

I don't know if this helps or not.

That looks like a good find, have you verified that it's a Open Center valve? It did not specify in the listing.

I hope so cause I bought it. We will see.

DANGERDOC:
If your M tractor has its FEL joystick on the FEL right post like
most of the L Kubota's, then it is not hard to mount a separate
1-spool valve on the FEL cross bar in front of the steering wheel.
Power it from the pwr beyond on the loader valve. That is how it
was done for my 4n1 on my B21.

I'm starting to think that using the power beyond is the way to go. One question, do you have a removable FEL? It seems like mounting the valve on the FEL would make removing the FEL a problem.

I'm still chewing on this problem. I think to do everything I want, I may need to run from the power beyond to use the 4n1 and maybe get a PTO driven hydrolic pump to run some of the more esoteric tools I have in mind.

Normally, with a quick-attach loader where the valve is on the loader frame
(like a lot of Kubotas), the FEL valve comes off with the FEL, and the hoses
use quick-disconnects. An additional 1-spool valve attached to the
loader cross bar would also come off with the loader, but you may have just
as many QDs, depending on the valve. If your 3PH gets hyd power
downstream of the FEL valve, then the new 1-spool valve would also have
to have power beyond. You can get the 1-spool Prince valves from Surplus
Cntr or Northern Hyd for about $80 for the valve and $15 for the PB sleeve.

My B21 does not have a QA FEL, so that does not apply. With my other
tractors with QA FEL, I never take the FELs off.
