Thanks for the recommendation, but $550 is a lot more than I want to spend! I'm hoping to use what I have, just weld up some brackets to make it work.
Yes, I have two outlets....well, 3 actually. I have the main hydraulic valve assembly with the center handle that raises and lowers the mower deck, and I also have a plow.
There are two accessory valve assemblies that go the the front hitch to operate the plow. One raises and lowers the hitch with a handle to the right of the deck handle, the other moves it left/right with the left handle. When the snowblower is attached, the left/right hydraulic cylinder is removed and replaced with a straight bar, the up/down cylinder stays.
I want to put the left/right cylinder on the blower chute to raise and lower the deflector with the left handle. I think this will be easy to fabricate, just needs a couple brackets to attach it to the chute. I'll probably need longer hoses too.
I was thinking about removing the cylinder that raises and lowers the mower deck and somehow connect it to the chute to spin it left/right. Then I can use the center handle to control it. I just don't know of a way to use a linear action, in/out cylinder to spin something. After looking at the deck dolly setup you linked, I realize what I need is a hydraulic motor, so thanks for the link, it pointed me in the right direction.
Hopefully I can find a cheap (used?) one with enough snot to do the job.
I don't know much about hydraulics, so I have to ask - why would you need to buy a $600 splitter to add another set of hydraulic controls to your tractor? If you only have one or two hydraulic valves on your 3208, why not just add another one?
I just did a quick search on ebay.
Here is a set of auxiliary lines that run from a OEM hydraulic valve under the rear fender to the front of the tractor.
There aren't any hydraulic valves available now, but someone sold two of them for $15 a month ago. I'm sure more will be listed, or one can be sourced somewhere else.
You should be able to add another hydraulic circuit with a handle for under $200, and maybe a lot less.
Is there some other reason you need that splitter valve?
