You can continue to add valves with PB, which means power beyond.

For the grapple, add a selector valve from Surplus Hydraulics. When connected, the fluid either goes to the curl cylinders, or it goes to the grapple, with a switch as the selector.

Using this method you don't have to worry about Power Beyond. You are basically using the curl function of you loaders valve, but redirecting the flow from the buckets cylinders to the grapples cylinder.

Maybe this will help.

There are plenty of books and cd's on hydraulics.
