Loader and 3 pt question on a 530

I finally got the 530 DOM home with it's new clutch. Still needs a lot of tinkering, but it's a $200.00 tractor, so what do you expect! Question- the 2 levers for the remotes are currently set up to operate the loader. How did people go about using the remotes if they had a loader set up that way? Another valve body somewhere?
 

I have a Case model 291B loader on my 530. There is a selector valve in the eagle hitch circuit. This is used to switch between loader boom lift cylinders and eagle hitch. The two remotes located on the back of the tractor are used for the bucket cylinder.
 
Your DOM tractor is different from an EH tractor. You have full independent use of both remotes AND the 3pt. The cheapest way to use the remotes with a loader installed, is to put quick couplers on the two valve blocks and on the loader's hose ends. Then you can easily disable one or both of the loader circuits. The best way would be to mount an 2 spool open center valve on the loader and fit it with a male female circuit to one remote and tie the lever back, but you will have to disconnect loader valve if you want to use both remotes. You will also have to let the lever back to neutral if you want to use the other available remote circuit on it's own.
You could also just put valves in one side of each of the loader circuits, BUT you should find valves that will handle the pressure, not just a water valves like I have seen done.

I thought about using ball valves on the lines. Kinda crude, but workable. I prefer the idea of using a separate control valve. Thanks for verifying what I was considering.
