Mornin' Allan;
As an old fashioned sort of a guy who mistrusts electrics & electronics, I thought you may be interested in this system.
Lewis Loaders who specialise in loaders & backhoes for compact tractors in England, have a unique valve for operating front loaders.
Normal 4 way north-south-east-west single lever to operate loader & bucket.
The hydraulic lever is J shaped like a small walking stick. To operate 3rd service (like clam bucket or grapple fork) you twist the lever left or right by turning your wrist - follow me?
Do you also remember the International tracked loading shovels? They used a normal single lever for loader & bucket. Your arm rested on a U shaped bracket set further back - to operate 4in1 bucket you moved the "arm rest" left or right with your arm movement.
To my idea levers that connect into something are far more reliable than electric wires (feel the same about gear levers going directly into gear box with mechanical linkages.
Just a few thoughts from a grumpy old fashioned agricultural engineer stuck in the mid-1960's. LoL
Cheers David
