Looks good. Did you build the unit with the hyd locking pin assembly. I have never seen one like that. The Power-Tracs, have a hyd locking assembly that pushes two pins at the bottom of the QA plate. I might have to use your ideas on the single cyl, and single pin. .

yes jj my locking pin is hydraulic , I upgraded my grapple cylinder and used the old one to move the pin , I just swap qc s when I drop my rake.
got the new cylinder on my rake today and modified the grapple, the photo of it on the trailer is what it looked like before, it works really well now , tomorrow lights.......
