[QUOTE="TonyCT322, post: 128369, member: 19714"] You are correct. I have a CT322 (tracks) that functions the same. You can swap the hoses so it opens/closes to your liking. Right or up for me is open. Left or down is closed. You can push it all the way down to lock it in place. This is how I run my brush mower. The solenoid is tied to the same port as you right foot pedal (tilt control). You may notice a lack of response or nosing down while the aux valve is in use. Returning the handle to the center/neutral position for the aux control will return full flow to the tilt cylinder. You will get a lot of use out of the grapple. It is my most used attachment and you will be amazed at the size of trees you can move. On the handle is a little lock knob. Mine was froze and took a lot of WD40. It is nice to be able to lock it when doing dirt work. Be careful when raising the cab, the knob will catch on the floor panel and can pull the steering out of alignment. Finally, watch your hoses. They need to be long enough for full reach and tilt. Mine then were too long when down and kept getting ran over. I tried zip ties and bungees and finally bought a spring mounted hose clamp from Skid Steer Nation Hydraulic Hose Saver $85.00. Cheaper than new hoses and works well. You will need the diameter of your hoses when ordering. I swapped a longer bolt and lock nut and used an existing hole on the grapple. [/QUOTE]
