Landpride grapple for SCUT?

[dragoneggs]

OK I was able to upload to YouTube. It's under Land Pride SGC05. I'll add some working videos tomorrow.

Looks good lowell... what kind of rpm were you running for that kind of jaw action? Does the rpm make much difference in speed?

Lowell, thanks for sending the video. Had to cut out about 8:00 EST last night so just catching up this morning. Now it's on Youtube so everyone can see it. When you get a chance, try opening or closing the jaw while moving the joystick. Just curious how it moves when trying to run multiple functions. Since the grapple valve is downstream from the loader valve, the loader should have priority. Wonder if it will move at all while the FEL is in motion. Curious minds want to know. LOL.

I was maybe at 2000 or so I think. I just had to replace my dash panel as the rpm/hrs just faded away so I'm a little more cognizant of looking. I only have 1.7 hrs on my tractor now

You can definitely tilt/curl and raise/lower the FEL as you open/close the grapple. This is, of course, the result of the 3rd function rather than a diverted valve. Kicking the rpm up speeds everything up as my next wobbly video will show. I could not sense yet which has priority but it seems better than the backhoe as there when doing certain things there is not enough juice to make multiple movements. This looks like it will be everything I expected. I'm trying to upload to YouTube but they say my acct is disabled. I upload a video of a grapple and somehow get disabled. I've written an email. Well, now my iMac just turned itself off as I write this on my iPad. Sounds like I'm not being favored by the "cloud people".

OK it appears I am acceptable to YouTube again so I uploaded what little I shot this am. It's also under Land Pride SGC05 Grapple.

Lowell, nice video. I'm surprised the multiple function moves work that well. I don't know how often I'd need to use multiple functions at the same time, but it's good to know I can. Of course it may take some time to be coordinated enough to use them accurately. Here's a link to the video. Don't know how to embed the actual video in a post.

Ha, think I figured it out

I need to figure how to embed a video but right now I just happy I was able to upload. I think this will take a little time to get proficient. Like a backhoe you just will need to use it. However with a backhoe you have both hands going. Here it's one handed.

Hey, that looks pretty good. I bet you will find it a very useful tool.:thumbsup:

Nice lowell! Did you bump up the hydraulic pressure at all or is this 'stock'?

I am more jazzed about this than ever. I figure I am 2 to 3 months away though. How many hours do you estimate it took for install?

Haven't tweaked my hydraulic pressure yet, but I'm in position to do so. Got my shims late last week and have the pressure gauge set up for male or female QC connection. Also, have my colored tape ready to mark the hoses once I get them connected correctly, if that ever happens. I'll be calling the dealer Monday to check where the missing QC's are. I don't have any tracking info since the dealer dealt with LP directly. Frustrating.
