mx5100 with grapple

[candyman]

wildkat grapple 48" got the 3rd. function valve from ted installed it myself. got the grapple 3 weeks ago, man this thing is nice have moved logs, brush, rocks & can even pickup pop cans, i don`t even have to get off the tractor to pick them up.

how did i ever get along without it. / candyman

Nice, wanna get one as well! Pop cans? Hmmmmm!

Very nice. Show some pics of that 3rd function

well maybe great big pop cans. not much of a picture taker. the valve was pretty easy to install, but hooking up the wiring took much longer to do.
should have taken pix as i was doing the install but as usual i forgot.
the problem i have now is how to keep the hoses from dragging on the grd. between the grapple & the tractor, need some kind of bkt. * plate to connect the hose fittings to & a way to hold up the hoses, any ideas. ??

the hoses on the valve & the grapple are way to long, had to fold the ones on the tractor over to shorten them.

Nice job but why did you not use the Kubota kit which has really nice neat steel lines that follow the loader arms.

 

[candyman]

kuboman,

did not know kubota had a kit for that guess i just got caught up in reading about the wr long kit.
the kit cost to much, but it is on now & works great.
