Grapple Grapple and 3rd Function control for Kioti DK40se

[grsthegreat]

Door # 3 sounds good to me.

mine took 30 seconds to make from scrap steel. slips right over after removing rubber knob.

It looked to me on the DK series it would be easy to drop your hand off of the FEL joystick, and it kinda falls on the SCV just below. That is what I was thinking, is that how it is for you? any trouble to close the grapple jaws pretty quickly, and then curl and lift the load with the FEL control again?. I am not saying the 3rd function is not ideal, because I believe it is, but I was thinking you could get by pretty well with the rear remote SCV control because it is located pretty conveniently. But you have actually done it, do you have a hankering for the 3rd function control on the stick?

not really. actually this set up works very slick for me. I do controls by feel only. never have to look at controls.

some day when im retired and board i may try some other option.... maybe

Cool, If (and when) I get a grapple, that is how I am going to start out too, I don't have a need for a grapple every day, but it sure would be handy at times.

thats used for my loader mounted snowblower in the winter. i remove control after snow season

Ahh, are those all electric functions? No hydraulics you could use for the grapple in the summer associated with the loader mounted snow blower controlled by those buttons?

no , these controls only work with the electric over hydraulics on the blower unit.

My thoughts on this is why not start with the rear remotes, run from the rear remotes with a 6 foot hoses up to the area where the loader starts, use couplers to continue on with hoses out to the torque tube of the loader, these hoses would be tie wrapped to the existing loader hoses, so now you can still remove your loader easily. AND also if you decide to install a third function valve it would go in the area of the couplers and you could likely re-use the longer loader mounted hoses for the hookup to the electric/hydraulic valve. So you are out 2 six foot hoses from the remotes to the loader post if you decide to go with the 3rd function idea.. Not a lot a money. And should you get along fine with using the rear hookup and manual control valve already on your tractor.. Well you are done and a happy camper.. Thats my 2 centavos.

I am doing mine like James suggested. I am using the rear remote on my DS4510 while I am waiting for my valve setup from fitrite gets here and I can install it. Using it on the snow blade at the present. When I install the valves, I will install a 'T' fitting at the Power Beyond port and go the the valve assy in the back and also a line going to the
3rd function I'm installing for the front of the tractor. Never can have too many hyd remotes on a tractor.

You are going to do what? Install a tee in the series flow path. Not a good thing.

When you are using one function, and block the fluid, the flow will just go through the other path to tank.

You don't tee series flow path.

What are you trying to do?

The return path can be teed as they only go to tank.

JJ,
It was a thought. I am trying to draw up the schematic for having a 3rd function fwd,
and then supply hydraulics to the bank of valves aft. I already have 1 remote set and
I am getting another bank of 3 or 4 valves for everying aft. I have a toplink ordered and
if everything works out will get the tilt later.
I knew if I mentioned any thing wrong you or Brian or another hyd expert would chime in.I should have gotten with you when I was in Jax 2nd week of January.
Thanks. :thumbsup:

Tom, you need to plan on running the 2 lines that go to your current rear remote to the bank of diverters that you are getting. When done, you will have 4 rear remote sets to make use of.

Thanks Brian. The valves showed up this afternoon.
