Has anyone added a grapple to a LA272 FEL on a B7500 ? If so I'd sure like to know the specifics: grapple source, hydraulic control, etc.
And for a general question: can I just put a couple electrically controlled hydraulic switches (diverters ?) on the curl up and down lines and divert their pressure to the grapple cylinder and control it with the existing FEL loader ?
I realize when I flip the switch and send the curl's pressure to the grapple cylinder that I lose the curl function. But I am trying to keep it very simple and very cheap, and I am only trying to move a bunch of cut brush so I don't think I'd need to be able to lift, curl, and grapple simultaneously.
