We're starting to think out loud here and we really like the looks of the ATI grapple. We are fixing to do some holiday shopping at Surplus Center to pick up on a 12 volt selector valve to power up the grapple with the use of the joystick on our New Holland. Thanks for all the info, we're getting ready for a new project. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I too believe it moves too fast & needs a flow restrictor in the hydraulic line. )</font>

I would also like to slow down my Virnig grapple.

With a double acting hydraulic cylinder such as on this grapple, is it necessary to put a flow restrictor in each of the hydraulic hoses? Or, is restricting just one of the hoses sufficient?

Can a simple pinhole restrictor be used, or are the one way ball valve type needed?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom you may indeed use only one orifice to slow the cylinder down for both directions of travel. Both our T&T cylinders only have one in each.

I tried the link and got a message that said that the url was not valid. What category was it in?

Thanks

TX, This works for me. It slows the grapple down both ways.
Flow Control Valve
Attachment is a picture of it on the tractor.
Just dial in the flow you want then lock down the set screw.

PineRidge,
Could you elaborate on the selector valve and or provide a link for one? Since I'm pretty new to all this tractor stuff, I'm unfamiliar with the setup to actually operate the grapple cylinder. Thanks.

This is the selector valve that we ordered. It will actually be delivered tomorrow. click here.

We have ordered from these folks in the past and they have always taken care of us. Good service is a plus!
