Telehandler with twin spool valves

Does anyone know which telehandler models have double spool valves. I want to be able to tip a grain trailer with hydraulic back door sometimes.

Definitely not buying new and not sure about getting fit! Is it relatively easy to retrofit something that doesn't involve getting out the cab?

Some manitou have - our previous 635 had a diverter between spare set and hitch. But maybe you actually need 3: hitch and 2 more. You could use the hitch spool for the door and cross your fingers.

Non of them have twin double acting spools at the rear and a pick up hitch.

In the olden days matbro often had a hitch service and then a single acting trailer tipping pipe.
Sanderson just had the hitch service then a manually operated change over valve to a single acting trailer hitch.

Old manitous often had a single acting service to the rear for single acting hitch and you then unplugged it to work single acting trailer.

Most machines now just have a double acting hitch and no trailer tipping. Really not a great idea towing alot and tipping trailers with them anyway imo especially older ones.

Quickest way to kill an old handler is road work and towing.

Correction of that, there was one but I wouldnt recommend buying one just to get extra rear services!

When speced with a pick up hitch from factory the Redrock pivot steer handlers had there own PUH pump and spool block separate to main system.

You could pay the extra on the options list to have double acting pick up hitch, plus a second double acting service or a single acting if you wanted, then trailer braking.
By the time you ticked all them boxes you added a massive price! BUT the stupid thing is if you just ordered a machine with pick up hitch you got all of the above anyway with out paying all the extras!
All you had to do was fit the pipes and quick release fittings on rear everything else was already on the machine including the brake valve! I think you could save about 2k piping it your self at the time😂

It would be alot easier to answer the question if you told us the telehandler you wanted to buy. Might then have some more practical solutions rather than guesses.

When stuck a few years ago putting bruised grain into a low door shed after the only tractor that fitted in was sold…. We had a set of pipes made up to run from the 3rd service on jcb boom to work the rear door, worked fine. Just lucky we had another forklift to load the trailer so we didn’t have to hitch of the trailer. Now get the barley blown in when bruised so not an issue any more.

Add an extra coupling on the pressure side (one for tip, one for tail gate) and the other tail gate pipe to the return. When the trailer has some weight in it the tailgate will open first - once fully open the trailer will then tip. I’ve tipped muck like this every day for the last 8 months, seems to be ok.
