Good Afternoon,
First to introduce myself I'm Herman. I just retired out of the US Air Force after a 27 year career. I have moved home to East Texas and I'm working with my father in laws 4110. He has a Mahinda 4110 that he purchased in 2002. It has a Kansas Machine Works FIL. I wanted to get a grapple for it so I converted it from a pin on bucket to a skid steer quick attach. I also ordered and installed a WR Long third function valve and a Armstrong Ag grapple. Once I had everything installed and tested it I have a problem. The grapple seems to close at a normal rate but opens very slowly. I have done a lot of trouble shooting with some assistance from WR Long. We have verified that everything is installed correctly. I have removed and installed that quick couplers several times. We have also changed all the quick couplers. I have also went and picked up another new grapple to test it but had the same problem. At this point I believe I have a bad valve and WR Long is sending me a new valve. All other functions on the FIL work as expected. Has anyone ran into this issue? Any ideas of anything else I should check? Thank you for any assistance and hope everyone has a great weekend.
