Has anyone converted a twin stick controlled FEL to a joystick controller? It'd be for my 1976 L225DT. I'm wondering if my low flow pump would be even be sufficient to power both lift and curl of the FEL arms and bucket?
Hydraulic Control Conversion

Can't you do that now blending the amount you pull or push on the twin sticks at the same time?
The joystick shouldn't require any more power from the hydraulics. It still has just two spools like the double lever one.
I'm guessing, but I think if you can get your hands on a dual spool joystick jump on it and convert.
Sorry if I don't understand and I'm getting this wrong.

I have no problem operating the lift and tilt at the same time. Correction there - the Kubota has no problem, I still lack the co-ordination to do it smoothly.
This leads to another question - would the joystick have the 'float' capability used in the snow removal video here? Apparently you pull out on the joystick to get the bucket to float along the ground. It would be nice if the FEL could temporarily have a 'gravity down' like the 3 point. Would almost be worth getting a new control

Hi Stuart,
On my Kubota FEL the float is in the lower side.
Push forward for lower and in the same push give it a little more oomff. The stick goes into the float detente and holds until pulled back.
