Double post.

Today I received a 55" Wicked Root Grapple from EA. This is my first Grapple and have a simple question to the more experienced grapplers out there. I am using a mechanical valve and was wondering what y'all would prefer if you had my valve. Lifting handle up to open or lifting handle up to close? I am thinking up to open. Thoughts?

I have a similar set up on my yanmar. I push the valve forward to open and pull it to close. Doesn't really matter. It's just what ever works best for you

Can't let a lid polemic pass without jumpin' in. My ranch hand pointed out that when he chomps down on a load of Yaupon with the single lid on our 72" Wicked, the Yaupon itself tightly squeezes the whole wad together securely.

Here he is transporting a batch a quarter of a mile without losing any. The red sunshade of the tractor is barely visible above the massive bundle and a splash of daylight can be glimpsed below.

Wow, he should win an award for that grapple load. Glad to see your grapple was more than up to the task.

I think it's a mental thing and will probably best be determined by trying it out.

Personally, I may prefer pulling down to open and up to close, but if you factor in loader joystick motions, it could change my mind.

How's that for clear as mud? :laughing:

I have a brand new (25 hours) WR Long 3rd-function valve (operates my EA grapple) that is leaking/FLOWING from the A-port/top allen-hex fitting... Does anyone know why/had this experience...
