remotes

John -

I don't think anyone in this thread has mentioned it, but there is an alternative to using a diverter-type setup that will allow you to control your grapple without completely losing a loader function.

I might take some heat for mentioning this alternative, because it seems to have the potential for ruffling feathers, but here are some threads you might want to check out, to see for yourself whether or not a hydraulic solenoid valve might be an attractive alternative for you. I have them for my front and rear grapples, in lieu of remotes, and I really like their functionality.

Remotes and Top and Tilt?

I really don't want to start a debate in this thread about conventional remotes versus electric/hydraulic solenoids. These links are offered as an alternative to those who might not be aware of this option.
