Bucket hydraulics

I put a model 100 MF bucket on my MF50, but I'm having trouble with it. I think the valve is shot. I've been looking on the web and there seems to be quite a range of prices. I'm not sure exactly what I need. I have single action rams to lift the bucket and double action to curl it. Do I need a two spool? If so, I'm not sure what is meant by 8 gpm, 20 gpm, etc. Can someone straighten me out on this and recommend one? I'm running it off a pto pump.

Yes you need a 2 spool valve one for the lift one for the bucket. As for the GPM that is Gallons per minute of the pump. So yes you need a valve that matches the pump. A good place to buy hyd parts is the surplus supply

Thanks, this is really helpful. The link you provided suggests that place went out of business.

I would suggest that you call them so they can make sure you get the right control valves.
