Front Aux Hydraulics 7030

[Alberta]

Hoping someone can help me, I’ve inherited a 7030 and it has the hydraulic splitter type thing on loader. The ports have been blinded as aux hydraulics never used. I would like to use a grapple attachment through here. Does anyone know if I can use this to control grapple and still have full function of loader? There is a dial on the unit I suspect some kind of manual switch if electronic switch not working.

Interesting, one flat faced coupler and one Pioneer. The dial is most likely flow control.

Looks like a diverter valve. Push a button on the joystick to divert oil from the bucket tilt circuit to the couplers on this valve so you could run a grapple. Not a true third function. It would send oil to tilt the bucket or operate an attachment, but not at the same time. The ports are capped off and the hoses hooked together so it has been bypassed for some reason. Not usable this way. I don't see a dial unless you are referring to the knurled black knob on top that holds the solenoid coil onto the valve. The top coupler does look like a Pioneer from that angle, but there is a locating pin that fits into a notch on the outer sleeve so it is probably a female flat face. A Pioneer would not have that pin. Wonder why it is not hooked up now, maybe it didn't work or leaked? Without knowing the history, it's anyone's guess.
