plumbing blower to jcb 215

I am hoping someone can help me decide how to plum a snow blower to a 2001 jcb 215. Here is where I am at I have an older , mid 80's, blower I have fabricated mounts to allow me to scoop it into my loader bucket. I will need to operate:
ram on chute 3/8 line in and out
hydraulic gear drive to rotate the chute 3/8 line in and out
hydraulic motor to turn the auger 3/4 line in and out

Option 1: I have 3 spool controller that came with it. I was thinking I could run some lines from the quick connect couplings behind my cab, to the control, I would mount in the cab. I would run new lines from the unit to the control in the cab.
This would be the easier way to run the lines but it would require some way to route the lines into my cab i.e. modifying the Windows or creating a route through the floor. The old control unit is very heavy and cumbersome.

Option 2: I was hoping someone can inform me if there is a way to use my existing controls to operate the blower. If I could install two toggle type buttons for the chute, up down, left right, and a away to operate the auger.

Please let me know of any ideas any of you have to make it easy yet clean to attach and remove my snow blower plumbing.
 
I should add, I have a 4in1 bucket. Aux hookups behind the cab. No tool hookups on the side or front. Power shift, 4x4, enclosed cab,
 
You need to know the gallons per minute your JCB puts out. The you need to figure out what RPM you want the driven motor to turn. I know the tractor turned it at 540 or 1000 RPM. You may want need to turn the motor slower because of the hydraulic flow capacity of your JCB. You can up drive the system after the motor if you have to. The trouble could be that you may not have enough hydraulic capacity to run the blower. You will need a fixed output speed for the blower. So you take the flow rating of your JCB and find a motor that will use that and have the output speed your looking for. Then you can figure the output torque/horsepower. Unless your JCB has a high output hydraulic system I think you will find you will not be able to transfer enough horse power to blow snow very well.

Understood. I was hoping someone would have some numbers in their knowledge of working with a 2001 jcb. I believe my rear aux is 35 gpm. The blower was working as is but the lines are cracked and wrong length. Not sure what the original machine was putting out. In a perfect world I imagine a way to use the low pressure aux tool circuit for the chute with a thumb toggle/joystick and somehow plumb the rear aux to the cab and use the existing pedal
 

How about a couple twelve volt linear actuators for two of the functions? The side to side of my bale thrower is a linear actuator operated by a momentary contact toggle switch.
 
That sounds like what I was thinking, I would think there is a 12v circuit to connect a switch to, to operate the tool ports on the hydraulic manifold. Though I don't know where any of that is. I was hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction with some schematics. Thanks for the response

I was actually thinking in terms of the linear actuators doing the swivel and chute up and down without hydraulics.
 
ok got it, I wasn't following. Though I would rather not try to redesign it. It is built well. The way I do things it would become yard-art. I've had this blower for three years. Just now getting to it with 3' of snow
 
I have some info to add. My blower is a George white and sons, model 90717. I find others that are pot using at least a 45hp tractor. I still looking into the specs on my aux hookups.
After looking at my current plumbing, I can move the rear aux quick connects to under the cab where I have a small removable panel allowing me to enter the cab just in front of my controls on my right.
I am looking at buying a 3 spool valve with solenoids controlled by a 12v switch and mount it under the cab with accessible quick connects. My thoughts are to install a master switch in place of my existing aux pedal and mount a small joystick on my bucket control to operate the chute,up/down left/right, with my fingers and mount a trigger or such to operate the augers.

Any thoughts or parts help would be appreciated. I find small joysticks for boat trim controls that may work.
