Hi folks...new user here. A few years back I installed a woods front end loader on my Kubota and had a third function installed hoping that one day I could afford a grapple. Well I finally bought an EA grapple. When I hooked up the grapple it operates as intended but the lid closes slowly and doesn't seem to have the clamping pressure it should. I'm assuming something with the valve but I'm hoping you good folks may have ideas and suggested fix. Thanks!

What's your flow and what is the required flow for the grapple? Are you using an extra reservoir (may also be short of fluid if you just filled the lines and rams).

Have you operated / cycled it enough times to purge all the air out of the line & cylinders? If you haven't you may need to fully cycle it many times to get all the air out... then check you fluid level...
