SCV\'s for T n T

I recently installed a Kelly 1000 FEL on my JD750. It uses a 2 spool SCV to control the bucket. It came with a Cross SCV which ties into the Power Beyond in the hydraulic block under the seat. It works fine.

I am now considering adding T n T to the rear. Instead of installing another 3 spool valve separately which could get complicated as far as hooking it into the Power Beyond in conjunction with the existing FEL SCV, I am thinking of just replacing the 2 spool valve with a Prince 5 spool valve, with the 3 additional spools used to control T n T and maybe angle on a rear blade.

Are there any pros and cons to just installing a 5 spool valve instead of having separate 2 spool (FEL) and 3 spool (T n T)?
Isn't this easier than doing all of that extra Power Beyond plumbling?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's a fine idea provided you can get the loader joy-stick handle hooked up to the loader valves OK.

Past some pictures for us if you do it.

Thanks for the reply. THAT could be the problem - getting the joy stick hooked up on a 5 spool rig. But, I don't have a joystick now, so I could probably live without it, or I might be able to adapt something.

Just seems like a lot less hassle than plumbing in a 3 spooler in the line where there is already a 2 spooler. Besides, I am not that good at hydraulics. Learned a lot, though, when I installed the Kelley 1000 loader myself.

I will post some pics if I go ahead with this, which I think I may.

I may also move the whole SCV back over the right fender of the 750 so it is more comfortable.

Hayden-

I checked with Prince regarding their SV series of valves. According to their website, you can install a joystick on two sections at one end and another joy stick on two sections on the other end provided there is at least one section in between with a regular scv lever on it. They show a picture of such a setup. The only hitch is that you have to order the sections for the joystick up front since the joystick cannot be added to regular scv sections designed for regular levers. This probably means that I can't go thru Northern since I do not see them listed. I will probably have to go thru a local Prince dealer to order exactly what is necessary. I estimate $350 to $400 for a 5 section scv with two joysticks. As an alternative, I could probably do with only one joystick for the FEL.

Anybody out there on TBN already been thru this whole exercise? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
