Grapple

I originally used a latching solenoid, might you be talking about that? If so it was quickly eliminated. Grapple is much easier to use without it.

How do you activate your grapple, where did you mount your switch?

What I meant was a relay for the switch. The Long set up came with a switch in the knob you replace on the loader valve arm.

I probably spent about $725. The electric solinoid from W.R. Long was $500 and ram was $70. Odds and ends about $150. I figure I'm way ahead by fabricating and welding up myself. Really pleased with it and unbelievable the many useages I've found for it not to mention saving my back.
