Diverter valve

After coming from the days of getting on and off the tractor to try to wrap a chain around some brush, having to push a manual diverter valve to open and close a grapple lid is no biggie at all.

Everyone gets hung up on a diverter....and being unable to do all 3 functions at once. But in reality it really isnt a hinderance....becauase trying to
do all 3 functions at once is complicated, and with limited hydraulic flow anyway.....you slow everything down. IE: you can do a single function at a time at 100% speed, or you can do 2 at a time at 50% speed, or you can do all 3 at 33.3% speed......You dont really gain anything. And after hundreds of hours on the seat with a diverter grapple....I can honestly say I have never wished I could raise and lower my loader at the same time I am opening and closing the lid of the grapple

Very well written, I agree 100%
