Third function valve

Sfrankland · Oct 7, 2013

I have three of these valves and I was thinking about adding a third function to the front of my tractor. I want to add hydraulic angling to my plow and a grapple. Just wondering if I can add this to the power beyond behind my loader valve. Not very if knowledgeable with hydraulic so any help would be off a great help.

You need to get a response from J_J who seems to be one of the resident experts on TBN.

12 VDC 13.2 GPM SAE 8 DOUBLE SELECTOR VALVE

You can use those valves, but they are diverter valves and not power beyond valves. Typically you would use those with the curl function off the loader valve for use with a grapple. You would mount the valve similar to this on your 3616.

You can use one of those diverter valves to angle the plow.

It would install in the curl circuit, and the curl would be the default, and when 12v applied, the plow could be controlled.

You can use a 3rd function valve if you want to purchase another valve.

Thanks everyone for the replies and MtnViewRanch the link it looks very simple to connect up. I would prefer a true third function but for what I am using it for this will work fine.

Let me know if you need a control grip.
