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.

Just a few thoughts from a grumpy old fashioned agricultural engineer stuck in the mid-1960's. LoL
Cheers David
