Allan,

I was glad to see you have at least been considering keeping the valves and hoses out of the cab for safety's sake.

Just think if the hose from the pump broke after you'd been using the loader for a while, and the oil was HOT, or if the hose to the lift cylinders broke with a load of bales up in the air, and ALL that oil sprayed on you, 'til the fork was on the ground!

The other poster is right, there are control valves available with spools set up for single-acting cylinders. I believe some valves can have individual spools set up for single acting cylinders by removing a plug accessed through one of the ports, to allow an INTERNAL bypass-to-sump while in "lower the single-acting cylinder mode".

Surplus Center (www.surpluscenter.com) has experts on hand who can tell you of they have valves to meet your needs.

Is there a "Force Hydraulics" shop in your area?

Also, Baum hydraulics in Omaha (http://www.baumhydraulics.com/Baum/) (800-228-9288) has experts only a phone call away who can help you "spec out" the valve you need, as well as cables and lever or joystick setups. (I have an account with them, I'm not absolutely sure if they sell direct to the consumer, or not.)

I'm sure they would try to help you, and refer you to a local reseller, if necessary.

About the 12-GPM pump... remember, that's at WOT, and, unless you are roaring around, doing all your loader work at WOT, you're going to have considerably less than the 12 GPM MAX flow available.
