[QUOTE="mark18mwm, post: 81907, member: 9306"] There must be someplace in your hyd system you could tap into to get hdy pressure to run a separate valve to control a grapple. For instance the main pressure line from the pump to your control valve that is already there. A simple "t" fitting with a line going to a new valve that you install for the grapple control. The valve would need a relief valve on it if you tap in before the main relief on the machine. Here is a link to a example of a valve from surplus center that would work. http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Directional-Control-Valves/1-SPOOL-8-GPM-PRINCE-MB11B5C1-DA-VALVE-9-7861.axd Then just find a convenient place to bolt on the new valve, get some hoses and you have your new aux hydraulics with out all the money for a "kit", $1,500 seems awful steep when you should be able to do something like this with new parts for around $200 or if you can find god used parts way less then that. Not as fancy as a factory aux system but just as effective. [/QUOTE]
