Why is using the built-in remotes for loader duty "looked down upon?" Other than the not-so-useful locations of some remote valves on some tractors, what reasons would you have for not using the built-in remote valves for what they're intended to do?
1. You save $500 by not having to buy an extra spool valve bank and associated plumbing.
2. You don't have to figure out how to do "power beyond," which is especially handy because it's not easy to do on many tractors, impossible on others, and very expensive to do on any tractor if you've got to find expensive rare parts (e.g. the power beyond plate for an 06-66 series tractor and a replacement second valve with the open end to accomodate the plate). If you can't do power beyond all you're going to do is hook into the existing remote and tie back the lever anyway... Why not just use the remotes themselves?
3. You don't have to figure out where to mount the extra valve bank where it will be useful for loader work but not in the way otherwise.
4. Makes removing the loader simpler, as you can just unplug the quick connects instead of having to unplumb and remove the extra spool valve bank.
Most loader installations I've seen use the tractor's built-in remotes to power the loader.

He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
