            Yep, what Tommy said.  I have one of Ronald's (RanchHand Supply) aftermarket loader valve packages and it is a huge improvement over the OEM.  Took me about 1-1/2 hours to install and now I have float and rapid regen, smooth control and no slop.  Now I'd like to have the bigger pump to make compound moves better, but that's down the road a ways.  Always something.  The upgrade on the valve is well worht the cost and time, believe me.

              Guys! What is so bad about the stock one handled factory valve? Or are you talking about replacing a 2 handle? My 07 model has a single joy stick and other than it not having float I dont see the reason to replace it. Is it so you can run the rear ports as an option or what? I apologize if a dumb question in advance. Fido.

                I do have the one handled valve. It leaks like a sive. It affects the steering when you use it. It also only alllows for one motion at a time.  For what I have into the tractor itself, it is easily a justifiable upgrade.

                  Oh. I didnt know that it was giving you headaches. Also didn't know bout the steering issues. Gonna be paying closer attention now. Cuz, you know, a tractor upgrade is almost like a Harley chrome addition. Absolutely necessary, but needs to be justified by the accountant I sleep with every night.

                    I bought one from Ronald for my 2005 JM .  Easy to install ,  never leaks a drop, and is a huge improvement in the smoothness of operation. BG
