I am looking to by a 3rd function valve kit for a grapple on my NH T1510 , so far I have found WR long and Everything attachments have said they can do it .

Has anyone here dealt with these companies? And is there anyone else that does this? I guess I looking for the best built set up I can get as I plan on keeping this tractor foe a while

Do you actually want a kit or can you round up all the parts?

You will probably save a lot, as the kit people have to make some money off the kit.

If you have extra money, get the kit, if not, scrounge up all the parts and install it yourself.

Well WR long is telling me on facebook that it will be
"W. R. Long Inc. Yes we do have the specific valve kit for your loader. The list price is $610 +$100. The $100 is for the hydraulic quick connects and the bulk head plate. There are photos of the valve kit here. http://www.wrlonginc.com/valve_kits.htm"

Since I am a hydraulics dummy and this does not look like much more than teg spent I think I will probably give them a call , they said it comes with instructions and should take me about 2.5hr to install , then I'll finally be able to use my grapple

I ordered a WR Long kit just this week. I spoke to Nelson last week and he answered all my questions. Really nice folks. I can't speak to the quality of the kit yet as I not received it but from what I have read on TBN it should be fine.

Correct, but I have three functions for the price of one. I like W.R. Long (Nelson) set up but I thought it was a little steep for just one function. You pay for the easy installation kit. Besides, I have about $150 in extra parts that's not included in my post... :p

There is the whole argument about the easy of use with a toggle/push button vs. grabbing another valve handle... but I have to stop and think what does what anyway so I wasn't worried about that. If you don't plan to have T-n-T hydraulics for the 3 point hitch... W.R. Long is a nice kit to install. :thumbsup:

I have the wr long kit and it was very easy to install. I am happy I went with this kit and Nelson was a pleasure to do business with, I do highly recommend him.
However, I am having a (minor) issue with mine. Supposedly you should be able to operate the grapple at the same time as the curl function, but I can only operate one at a time. If I'm curling my grapple the grapple won't close, I have to stop curling, then toggle my switch to close the grapple, then go back to curl.
I double checked my installation at nelsons recommendation and found everything is lined up correctly. I never did figure out if it was a problem or not. Just FYI.

I'm pretty sure that's how it should work, either curl *OR* grapple. There's no way to power both at the same time.
