Sure it can be done and there is more than one way to do it.

You can always run a fixed thumb and move it up and down with a pin. many hoes have them that way, or you can spend the extra $$$ and add another hydro. valve and lines.

Easy, put a diverter valve in the loader curl circuit. Makes for a very clean installation. Control button would be on the loader joy stick or upgrade to have the button in the knob on the joy stick. Should be in the $500 range by the time you are done.

I added an electric hydraulic control to my 2615 in January as a kit. I think it was about $700. If I had it to do over I would purchase the individual components and save a few dollars. By the way the 48" grapple works great on the 2615.

Here is the valve you need.

Are you talking grapple or thumb?

You could use the work ports on the out riggers to feed the new valve.

In the non energize state, the out riggers would work normally.

When you press the button on the out rigger lever, the thumb/grapple works using the out rigger lever.

Thanks JJ im planning on just building something similar to the Add a Grapple and just using it with my loader bucket. Is there a way I can plumb this into my exsiting loader valve ?
Thanks Dan.s
