You need the 3rd scv installed and the hardline kit that runs to the end of the loader arms.

Frontier grapple bucket around $2300,diverter valve - $350,less if you get at surplus center,control handle for loader - $70,hydraulic lines from john deere - around $250-300 for kit

you have to have 2 auxiliary hydraulic valves on the FEL

Wrong answer;) You only need 1 valve for the grapple. The OP stated hes has a rear remote already, that will operate the grapple perfectly.

There is a kit from JD to extend the rear remote coupler up to the mid section where the FEL couplers are, and then up the loader boom. It's a complete bolt on kit and very easy to install.

Welcome to TBN:D

That is WAY overkill for what the OP needs, however it is a very nice setup.

yes,I know you could use the rear remotes.I also have that kit but for me,it's easier to use the control knob on loader handle.

Where did you get that handle for $70? I paid $175.00 for mine!

The knob was from a takeuchi mini excavator which I modified to fit the tractor
