2 lever vs 4 lever backhoe controls

Rich I have a 1987 Ford 655A backhoe with 4 lever controls and an extend-a-hoe. I was wondering what's involved in changing it over to 2 lever controls? Is it an simple as changing the control tower, or more involved with the valves and hoses?
L Schulte I have used both a 4 and 2 lever controls and the 2 lever is by far the best. I think it would cost a lot to change to the 2 lever. You get use to the 4 lever and it is ok. I have ran backhoe for 35yr plus and no to back hoe have the lever the same.
guss you have to have the valves restacted.cost around 1200 1500.
