To the OP. If you so desire, your factory valves will work. I personally, would use a secondary valve and pump. That way, you still have hydraulics on the tractor that could be used for something such as a rear blade. I, personally suggest a dual spool valve with a single control lever. Speaking from experience running a tractor and loader with two sticks to operate it, and a backhoe with one, I would take the single lever all day. I would also use an auxiliary pump. Not because the charge pump won't handle it, but because it will move the loader faster, and it is much simpler to install, less worry about the oil in your hydro heating up, or having enough oil. All these factors are able to be "engineered" into a design, as CAD does, but you HAVE to be sure you do it right. Feel free to take more advice from others. I too am done on this thread.

Actually you can do that, that is how closed center hydraulics work...
