Installing my grapple on my B7800 today

[Timber]

I am picking up some quick couplers this morning. I will finish the installation over the weekend. The grapple is easy to remove so the wt of it is not a big concern for many of the other functions I use my tractor for. Most of the time it will not be on the loader and I use it as a fork lift more than anything.

That is a nice idea Gordon, I have been thinking of how I wanted to do just that with the Grapple jaw

Well I went and took my lines down to the hydraulic shop and had the lines cut and new quick release fittings set up on the lines. I will finish the install today and everything should be up and running. I have some more welding to do around the grapple hinge tube and I also want to tack in the backing plates on the inside of the bucket. I should add some hooks too while I have the welder out.

Nice job, I'm thinking of getting a grapple also and was wondering if the one centered in the bucket works good for you.. I looked at the double ones also
Is there a need for two?? Also has anyone got a price on the One Touch system, mine will be going on a B2630 Kubota

We I just finished getting everything working. I was having a problem with my quick connects. The were restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid and it took me a bit to figure it out. I wound up eliminating them and It works great now. I went and changed all the fluids and then pulled a couple of stumps up. I have some more welding to do tonight and I will be good. I will continue with my pond tomorrow

Well I just finished the last of the welding and did a jiffy paint job to keep it clean

I love it, it was very easy to install & WR Long is very quick to answer questions. There is a lot that is very vague and that is why I posted the 3 video's. The installation of the WR Lond diverter is exactly the same.
