Adding remote valve on 2120

[wisconsinBill]

My 'new' tractor is a 1997 New Holland 2120, 40 years younger than my 640 and 861. I am interested if an additional remote valve can be plumbed into the ports on the single remote valve body. I attached a picture showing the front plugged part (yellow arrow) and the side plugged port. Is one the source and the other the return? Which is which? I would like to add a rear blade that tilts and angles and control them from the seat ( I am disabled and getting on/off is a struggle). Or is there an aftermarket valve body that can be added to the original spool assembly like the one I have on my 861?

I believe that the only way to get what you want is to stack a second valve like the first on the side of the rear end. I'm not aware of any aftermarket hydraulic kits for that tractor and when I bought the remote kit for a 2120 probably 8 years ago from the dealer it was a $500 kit.

I don't know much about the compact diesels, but another option might be to get a "multiplier". They simply plug into your existing couplers, and have 2 pair of couplers on the other side; a small switch that you can mount just about anywhere controls which couplers get hydraulic flow when you move the lever for the remotes.

I agree.. stack the 2nd OEM valve.. etc.
