Okay, I'll try one of these and put it right before the flat face coupler?

I do like how your third function operates. Opening and closing is a smooth motion, mine opens and closes almost instantly...
That's what I had on mine. If you have to use it when it's cold out and the fluid thickens, you may remove it because your grapple will operate very slowly
Anyone have an opinion on my plan below. I would appreciate your input before I order my hoses Thanks in advance
I have a Kubota factory installed third function valve. With 1/2 hose feed to my flat face coupling sat the loader bulkhead.
I would think if I use 1/4 hose I should have a bit less flow, than if I use 3/8 hose & would have a bit more control as to how fast the lids open and close.
My Grapple came plumbed with 1/4 hose from the 2 lids and I need to provide hose from 2 tees at the back of grapple to my loader flat faced couplings. Which will be about 60 inches of 1/4 inch hose.
Perhaps with my dual lids Since there is 2 hyd clyinders though they are small not much volume appear to be 2 or 2.5 diameter the lids may operate slow enough for me. Without having to install a restricter inline
Case, I think you値l be disappointed with 1/4 hose, Grapple will probably be very slow. I have 3/8 on mine and open / close is very acceptable. Mine is WR Long 3rd function.

Rick,Thanks for the reply. What size Line and or hose from your 3rd function to the bulkhead on your loader frame ? Is your entire grapple plumbed from your connectors to your lid Clyinders with 3/8 inch or is it with 1/4 inch hose. Thanks Bill
