Using the Long Electric/Hyd on the FEL joystick.
You need to know what fittings before you order the grapple and tell them 6' hoses and also tell them you are TBN member and you get a discount.
Valve Kits

I did not realize they were painting them orange these days. When I bought mine they had the old Henry Ford rule that you could have any color you wanted so long as it was black.

Good luck with yours.

Bet that grapple finds more uses than you though! I just finished the third valve on my L3940 on Sat. Have a grapple also that is going to get put to work. I went with the Kubota valve setup. Didn't know there were other options. I have a BH90 so the Rh subframe had to come off. It too me about 8 hours to do it. Could probably cut it in half on a second one knowing how everything goes. The book gives an hour to do it No way in heck, unless it was superman, could someone do it in one hour.

I just paid a tech 200 to install dual rear remotes. I thought I would be able to do it while lookin at the paperwork... glad I didn't try it. He a skinny young dude, me, a fat old b''''tard, no way I'd have got ur done. Jake

Not sure about the mounting plate???

I'm way toooo new with hydraulics to mess with any of this stuff. Maybe I'll try later.
