FEL hydraulic layout simplification questions

1)Since I do not have any implements that require rear hydraulics (at this time), can't I simply take the the hydraulic runs from the FEL and attach them to the controller. This would certainly simplify things and "clean up" the back of the tractor.
2)If for some reason you all feel that maintaning the rear hydraulics is important, can't I connect the FEL hoses to the controller with 4 pipe tees in the circuit somewhere near the controller (cleanly and organized) and now have 4 dead ended lines from the controller to the four QD's in the back should I ever require the use of rear hydraulics. With a total of 8 hoses running alongside the tractor (between the controller and the back of the tractor)with no clear and obvious location to secure them neatly, I am looking to eliminate an octopus back there.
Anyone care share an opinion?

Westendorf has a similiar setup. It is needed because when unhooking the loader you need control of the cylinders so the hoses need to reach as you back away.

Sounds like you are using good sense. Would for sure suggest that you keep the separate valve (controller) I have never been able to use the tractor remote valves very well to feather as well as a separate loader dedicated valve.

hope this answer isn't to muddy
