I recommend flare nut crowfoot wrenches, they get a better grip:

Good to know. Those would have to be special ordered or from specialty store in Dallas maybe, the local Autozone or O'Reilly's just had the basic, regular ones, NAPA might have had them, they are a little further away but I didn't look.
I'm quite happy to have the basic ones, been a few times I thought they would have been handy. This time there was no other way.

I had the dealer install my 60" grapple with the 3rd function kit I paid just under $1500.00 It has been great moving logs and cut up down tree trash and ripping up roots.

@Mrsig I'd like to see details of your light bar, hoping to add one to my tractor.

I went with the 60" Homestead Grapple

I picked the Yitamotor 32" LED light bars, IP68 rated (Devices backed by an international standard rating of IP68 are deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to thirty minutes ) with switch & harness. It has a 3 year Warranty. The only thing I had to do is extend the harness a few feet to mount on the ropes.
The price was great too. 32INCH 180W Led Light Bar Spot Flood Combo Boat Ford Offroad Truck UTE ATV 34'' | eBay
It makes the night look like day time using the backhoe in the rear or bucket or grapple in the front. Hope this helps.

Thanks, how did the mount work out around the ROPS?

I also went with the titan 2 lid for my 3038H. It really is too heavy. I can pick up a lot but have to carry it low. Instead of the looped rod provided by titan to keep the hoses up out of the way, I use a screen door spring with a caribeaner hooked to each end, yea I know.

This is a mid state attachments grapple out of Denton, NC. It's not too bad in weight. 525# for a 68" unit. Built very well.

Made my own third function using one of my remotes for the circuits. It works extremely well. Built the brackets for the hoses to make it look as factory as possible.
