I posted a question a while back about the hydraulics on my new grapple. Attached are the pics that everyone requested.
The grapple is plumbed into the rear remotes (pic 003). The grapple came with the hoses already installed from the 'T' to the cylinders. I installed the hoses coming up out of the top of the 'T' that couple into the hoses that plug into the rear remotes.
The problem is that when I open the grapple and then let off the handle the claws seem to loose their pressure and slowly close instead of staying in place. Actually the grapple claws just flop around when I let off the handle instead of staying where I ant them. I borrowed another grapple once before I bought this one and didn't have this problem. I could open the grapple claws fully (or however much open I wanted them) and they would stay there in that position until I opened or closed them.
Any idea what my problem is?
Thanks,
JC
