Threepoint, yeah, I need to grab a picture (can't do right now).
I briefly thought about mounting the HS on the grapple but thought that it's supposed to go on the tractor.:confused3: The hoses on the grapple are 1/2" and the HS won't, I don't think, accommodate that size.
The 3/8" hoses from the tractor reach just about 1/2' to and along the torque tube. If I lift the hoses up and hold them above the toque tube (to match the height of the HS) then I can reach a little past mid point on the torque tube/middle of the tractor.
I was aiming only to mount one HS (why I only bought one), but when scratching my head over this earlier today I was wondering whether I should have gotten two of them (and mounted one on the grapple).
There are studs on the torque tube that are for affixing the protective cover (for the hard lines). They are too short to use as is, but I had thought about the possibility of using a rod connector. Not sure if that stud would be sturdy enough. I was kind of angling in this direction but don't think it'll work. Kind of leaves only welding on that mount piece (that comes with the HS): positive is that the cover is readily removable and easy to take to a welding shop.
