I have a L5030 w/ LA853 equiped with the Quick Attach system. My dealer added Skid Steer style remotes to the loader and my grapple works great. Not sure what he's thinking but would love to know.

It works, try another dealer or push your current dealer a little more.

your dealer is wrong.

Just get the 853 FEL Q/A system and the front remotes, then get your own Q/A attached grapple and tell your dealer goodbye.

Apparently this dealer is clueless or he thinks the customer is clueless so he can sell him what he has in-stock.

Yeah, all he needs is the QA loader and the front hydraulics. Get the grapple from somebody else that knows what their talking about.
