Using hydraulic scarifiers on a box blade without hooking it up.

Well if it is a 6ft model then it is similar to mine but still carries a hefty weight and price. My BB1284 7' weighs 1250 lbs.
Here is a link, notice this is under their industrial category and surpass there heavy duty and extreme duty listings.

At any rate you got a deal on a very good boxblade.:thumbsup:

I will have one rear remote, but it will mostly be doing duty with the HTL. ...

Eventually i'll get a second rear remote, but i'm blowing through cash like a politician and would rather put it on hold for now.

I'll suggest another option for you. I believe that the one standard rear remote on your CT 235 can be locked "ON" like on my Kioti (for running a backhoe). You could get yourself a 3 or 4 section spool valve (or however many you wanted) and mount it on your rear fender or within easy reach. Then, plug your one remote into the IN and OUT ports on the spool valve and leave it locked "ON". You'll have plenty of valves to control you hyd top, tilt, scarifiers, and anything else you want.

Kennyd had mentioned similar, I'm beginning to warm up to this idea.

Something like this?

Actually I like the features of this one, ( https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=9-7175&catname=hydraulic ) but it looks like the relief valve is fixed at 3K+psi. Would the relief valve on the remote take care of that for me? The geometry of the installation might be a bit rough, but I'm sure there are others that would work.

Yep, that's the ticket. The relief on your tractor system/remote will protect it from overpressure. Think of it like two circuit breakers or fuses in series. A lower amperage one on the upstream/supply will protect everything downstream. The relief on the spool valve is not really required.

I have no idea on how the Bobcats are plumbed, but it has been my experience that when an OEM remote is in use, the 3pt hydraulic does not work. In other words, if the OEM remote was left on to power this other group of remotes, would the 3pt hitch hydraulic even work? :confused3:
I don't know, just bringing it up.
