I use a grapple with my 863G. Once you enable the aux hydraulics pushbutton (upper left console panel), the joystick is ready for a switch action. Pulling the trigger puts it in continuous flow in one direction (as if you had a backhoe hooked up). That's why your grapple arms are going up, then the hyd motor starts groaning because it's still trying to move the arms up. At that point, the thumb toggle won't have any effect. So do this: when you start up and push the aux hyd pushbutton on the upper left console, try the thumb toggle switch on the right joystick first. That should move the arms either up or down, depending on which way you have the thumbswitch pushed. It's a momentary action, so releasing the switch will stop grapple movement. No need for the trigger at all. Let us know how that works for you. And if you happen to pull the trigger, pulling it again will stop the continuous flow. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ---Bobbie-G</p></blockquote><p></p>
