[johnnyboy001]

I have a 2005 John Deere 5303 and I want to add a remote to operate a grapple bucket, John Deere wants 805.00 dollars for this part number lvb25502. Is there anyway to make this work with out this part. Thanks for any comments

I'm working on the same thing for my smaller tractor. This is the way I'm leaning:

Hydraulic Products

They may not have a ready-made kit, but they can probably put something together for you.

Hydraulics:
Type: open center
Capacity: 10 gal [37.9 L]
Pressure: 2800 psi [193.1 bar]
Valves: 1 or 2
Pump flow: 9.5 gpm [36.0 lpm]
Total flow: 16.3 gpm [61.7 lpm]
Steering flow: 6.8 gpm [25.7 lpm]

A simple selector/diverter valve will work, about $150 to $200.

or

A 3rd function valve mounted in series with the FEL valve. Same price.
