Winged back blade power unit / pump

[farm boy00]

So I picked up this 14ft winged back blade for $200 with cylinders. Just needs some welding.

I need to find a power unit / hydraulic pump for it. I did get pictures of spare one the guy had in stock (wouldn't sell). Problem is, his are custom build by a local company and are roughly $700-750.

I dont have a problem paying that type of money if need be since these blades are worth $3,000-4,000 complete but am just trying to find any cheaper solutions.

Did some googling but could only find a single or double valve units, not three valve units.

Does anyone have any advice where to find any or some key search words to find something?

So, 1 solenoid to lift/lower, one for the right wing and 1 for the left wing?
A power pack such as this ($250): 12 Volt DC .5 GPM 225 PSI Barnes Hydraulic Power Unit | DC Power Units | Hydraulic Power Units | Hydraulics | www.surpluscenter.com
And 3 solenoid valves such as ($120 each): 12 Volt DC 5 GPM DA Hydraforce Solenoid Valve | Hydraforce | Brands | www.surpluscenter.com
Would work to provide hydraulic power and control 3 sets of double acting cylinders.
Total cost would probably be about $610, plus $50-150 in hoses (all SAE #6 between the pump and valves).
So, $700 is not a bad price to have one built.
You might find better pricing for used parts on eBay, but for new stuff Surplus Center is usually pretty good.

Total cost would probably be about $800 by the time you got hoses (all SAE #6 between the pump and valves).

1 valve to lift/down pressure
1 valve to open/close left wing
1 valve to open/close right wing

I looked into doing a separate pump and valve but cost came close to buying the $700 complete unit.

Problem I see with the valve you linked is it seems they can not be tied together in an open center hydraulic system being separate valve unless I am wrong.

The valves that link to have an in and out, as well as an a and b for the two ports on the hydraulic cylinder.
They are not power beyond, but can handle full pressure on the out so you can link them together one after the other.
You could also use the closed center variety that they have and run the output off the pump into a pair of tees, then you need to wire it so that one of the valves opens up every time the pump gets turned on.

For $500 that's what I would go with.
