grapple on a 3032e john deere

[jhebert]

Trying to add a grapple on my 3032e Deere looks simple to just tee into the lines and have a manual control valve but I am missing something because in order for grapple to work I have to work my 3 point hitch and new manual valve together I'm looking over something just can't figure it out and don't want to spend the money on a kit if I can do it myself

You can't Tee into high pressure lines, that puts the valves in parallel and the fluid will take the path of least resistance, that will be through the other valve which is why you have to work both valves now. All valves must be plumbed in series using valves with a Power Beyond port. There are literally hundreds of threads here on TBN describing this method.

I teed into my power beyond line for my pressure port and went to tank with the other. I have an open center 3 position valve so do I need another type of valve I tried to find other post with the same tractor but not too good with this computer stuff just an ol country boy trying to save a dollar and not bothered by getting his hands dirty

You did not say you had a loader, but I am assuming you do because you want to add a grapple.

There are about 4 ways you can do that.

A open center valve with PB in series with the PB flow.

A 3rd function valve.

A divider valve in the curl circuit .

If you have remote, you could use the remote for the grapple.

All valves have to be in series.

Thanks for all the info I think I have the right setup just not the right valve just need to get a valve with a power beyond circuit

You cannot Tee into the PB line, no matter what valve you have.

PB line from the loader valve to the IN of your new valve
PB of the new valve to the tranny case where you removed the stock line from, that feeds the 3PH
OUT of the new valve to the sump/reservoir, that is the ONLY line you can Tee if you need to.
