Attempted Grapple Destruction

   / Attempted Grapple Destruction #11  
That is about an average day with my L45/grapple clearing property, yes, I do break stuff occasionally but I bought it to work. My experience is you will go thru bucket curl cylinder seals using the grapple to push or pull like in the video.

Glad to see it holds up to hard work, I just wish my grapple weighed less.

Most valves do not come with it, but they are available. That causes problems if you have relief before the loader valve's relief.
The only good way to do it is to put the aux. valve in the power beyond line after the loader control valve so that everything is protected at the proper PSI and regulated by the tractor's relief valve.

Hmmmm. All the monoblock valves I have bought new to use as tractor AUX valves (Cross, Prince, Energy) came with RVs, except for
OEM. The latter all were integrated into the tractor and had usually difficult-to-access IN and PB connections. Stack valves required
adding the RV as an option, as you say. My own Kioti replaces the system RV with the one in the OEM loader valve if it is installed.

I don't know why you say an RV installed before an FEL valve will cause a problem. It will be redundant if the FEL valve
has it's own RV (they usually do). Only the one set lower will work, of course. Any AUX valve can be protected by
an upstream RV, so another one is not necessary unless the AUX valve requires a lower RV setting. Then you will want one
on its IN port line.

I just wish my grapple weighed less.

One of the main objectives in the design of this grapple....LESS WEIGHT, which we knew was accomplished prior to testing.

Testing gave us affirmation of another main objective.....GOTTA BE STRONG!!!

I kept thinking he was going to find an outhouse with a lawyer hiding in it.

Are those power lines at about the 7:00 minute mark?

I don't want to give up ally secrets, but fill all four tires, max throttle, hook the kids, and watch the show.

Destroying things is a gift. I'm better with heavy weapons.

I can envision the grapple owners telling dealers "But I saw this training video on Youtube".

Need to imprint on the film a warning every second.
