Good Morning All,
I have a Mahindra 5010 HST with an auxillary remote on the back end. Can I use that remote as a 3rd for mounting a grapple to my FEL?
I know opening/closing the grapple won't be as convenient as mounting a 3rd up-front with a toggle on my loader joystick, but is there any issue with running hydraulic hoses from back to front? I was told: 1) should NOT run hoses that long and 2) the rear flow rate wouldn't support grapple operation and that I needed to add a 3rd to my FEL. Is this true, or is someone just trying to sell me an unneeded uprade?
Would gladly trade the inconvenience to save the money if I am not going to damage my hydraulics.
Thanks, PmP
