Good morning all!

Im new here and got a question i cant seem to find a direct answer on. i like to do my due diligence on searching first and have been over the last few days. hopefully didnt miss a blatent thread with the answer but its possible. I picked up my '14 L3800 about 3-4 months ago with a FEL LA524 and then bought a BH77 with subframe kit for the rear. Tractor came with a box blade thats a pretty light weight and used land pride. ive got a bunch of grade work i need to do around the house and i was looking hard at a TnT setup for this rig. I need something sooner than later so ive been doing some research.

What ive come down to is using the Summit hydraulic rear remote kit that will hook into the BH power beyond. i already know im going to need to slow the cylinders based on video's ive seen witih guys using electic solenoids with full flow from the PB. i would have prefered a full hydraulic setup but time is my issue...

That said, i "think" i have got a pretty basic idea on how the hydraulics flow on this tractor. I was thinking that instead of using 4 needle style flow controls for each port on the cylinders, id put on a flow control like this https://summit-hydraulics.com/produ...variable-flow-control-valve-0-16-gpm-1-2-npt/ , put it on the PB before the remotes, run the return of the flow control to the tank side return and then set my flow. That way i only have one flow control and ill keep it hard attached to the rear remotes but when the BH needs to go on, just unclick the PB from the flow control and hook to the BH. I just want to make sure i dont hurt/starve the pump and that this setup will ensure oil is contantly returning to the tank. is my thinking correct?

hopefully i gave enough info but if im missing something, ill post up more!

A 3 spool manual valve from Summot is less expensive and does what you want out of the box.
