Does anyone have one running on the joystick,
I'm looking at adding a loader with its own electronic valve block but using the joystick that's already there. I realise I need away of swapping the electronic output from spools to loader
What/ where do I do the electronic connection?

AHH I was thinking I could have used a second spool block and provided hydraulic flow return + extra pipe.
How would you use 3rd service?
And is there just 1 switch to swap that block 38 to the loader?

Our old 6480 had a two tap block on top of the spools that you switch across to use the front links it’s the same on our 7618 two pipes come out of the side of the rear spool slice to the front links

Ye mine has that, basically the same as for hitch. But your couplings are live, with the loader they wouldn't want to be?

Thanks that's exactly what I want to do.
Now to figure it out ...
How to turn the power off to the normal spools, they must work through relays?
Could I knock out the 1 supply to them all at once?
And the 3rd service?
Do you have a link to the book?
Thanks

3rd service just needs a relay put in to the fuse box and find the wire
Yes just add a switch in to the cab to change over between loader and spools

Can you not use the lock out button somehow ?

No idea if it’s possible but you you swap the tapped block for a electronic type like the mid mound types on newer tractors? Prob silly expensive mind

Maybe, but when using the spools it would then power the loader?
I was thinking of a way of stopping the power going to all the relays IE if they are on 1 feed switch it.
But might be using same relays
There’s no relays in that system it’s pwm (pulse width modulation) have you any pictures I’d guess if it’s off a 7618 it was probably using a mid mounted spool block
