I recently completed a grapple setup on my JD 4110. I purchased the grapple from Andy Tatro. I fabricated a mount to attach it to my bucket. I bought a Fasse diverter valve that came with a momentary switch that I mounted to my loader joystick. Special thanks go to kennyd whose setup I basically copied and who answered a lot of my questions. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Following are a series of pictures. Jason

The Fasse valve I used can actually be ordered through Deere. It is part # SW700-1592. As I mentioned, it comes with a switch and instructions. It costs about $310.

I mounted the switch on the joystick and zip tied the wires.

I had a lot of fun with this project. I've only used the grapple a little so far, but already I find it useful. BTY Fasse was a super company to deal with. I got technical advice with just a phone call and no wait. Their website appears to be under construction, but you can get some info here Fasse Valves

Great job Jason, I will be getting with you and Kenny in the spring when I get ready to that. First I want to get my power beyond set up with top n tilt and a valve for angling the rear blade. BTW just where does the fassevalve get its hydraulic flow from?
