Adding an extra outlet to a Terramite?

QRTRHRS · Apr 16, 2011

I just picked up a used T9 Terramite and am in the process of setting up the front loader with a skid loader type quick disconnect.

I also want to add an extra hydraulic inlet/outlet to use my grapple bucket.

I know enough to be dangerous about hydraulics. And, I don't know much about the machine yet either. Is there a simple solution that anyone can suggest?

I don't know what a T9 is, I have owned a T5B for over 20 years. Without hesitation I would recommend calling Terrimite. Those guys with help with anything. I would also suggest you ask for a manual and parts list for your machine. They will also set you up as a customer so if you order something they have your info for shipping. 800-428-3772 They may also have a kit set up for your machine.
Sorry if I got off your question. Just thought I would give credit where due. I have even ordered universal parts like pins from them because they were much cheaper.

Terramite T9

Install a selector valve like this. With no power to the solenoid, the curl works normally. When the solenoid is energized, the fluid is switched to the grapple circuit.

Surplus Hydraulics was not available, will try later.

The T9 is the largest of the three models Terramite makes.

I will take your advise and call the company. They do have a 4-1 bucket availabel on the T9 so it is doable. Just have to ask if it is a simple retrofit for my 2001 year machine.

J_J, the selector valve sounds simple enough. I don't need anything too elaborate since this is just for use around my small farm.
