Grapple on 5740C

[Ron Henderson]

Hi All,

I am thinking of installing grapple on my 5740c.

I have talked to John at Millonzia and now have some questions maybe someone could help me with.

I have a quick detach bucket on my 5740, is this the same as a universal mount??

I know that I could just run lines from my remote hyd's or install a diverter valve set up.
Which would be better??

I'm trying to figure just how much trouble and cost of installing a grapple would be.

By the way, the folks at Millonzia are very nice and are willing to help.
John told me that he has received alot of business from people on tractorbynet.
Because of this, he will give tractorsbynet folks 25% off their products.

Assuming your FEL is the quick-attach version, you can use any grapple or almost any attachment that is quick-attach (skid steer) compatible. I have used a grapple on my 5740C. I bought some long hose and plugged them in at the back. I used some webbing straps with buckles to hold the hydraulic hoses close to the cab and FEL arms. It worked great and required no modifications.
