Working on my buddys 450C , he wants to add another hyd valve . I need info where to pick up hyd pressure from the main hyd valve. Is there a special fitting ? Any info would be helpfull pics a plus.

I have a 3rd valve sandwiched on the end of the other valves. I believe it was factory installed for a 4 in 1 bucket(that I do not have, but wish I did). The pressure line from the pump is steel from the factory and has no access provision I am aware of(not saying i could not be added).

I have a 450C which I am pulling a two yard scraper with, I bought a 12 volt electric hydraulic valve from Surplus Center plumbed it into my tilt cylinder circuit and am able to switch back and forth with just a weather proof rocker switch to operate the scraper did not add another valve.was able to do it all in the hydraulic compartment and two lines out the rear under the fuel tank.

Jim, good idea. A hydraulic splitter would work well. Some splitters can reduce flow, and may not be the greatest for high flow needs. Bruce
