Plumbing a grapple help

[Black Davy]

Hi,

I just bought my 28" Thumb grapple and have a few questions.

This is going on a JD 2520.

What kind of control valve should I use?
Where should I connect to the hydrolics, I have the power beyond kit. I am a newbie on hyrdolics, so any guidence on mking this painless would be appreciated.

Thanks Dave

Welcome to TBN Dave

Do a search for the term "diverter" and "grapple" then spend a couple hours reading. A diverter valve basically "splits" your dump/curl circuit into another to operate the grapple. It will be the easiest and cheapest way to add a control to your 2520. You can also plumb in a new valve to your PB line, but it will not be as easy as the diverter. After you read some come back with specific questions.
