I do like how your third function operates. Opening and closing is a smooth motion, mine opens and closes almost instantly...

What brand 3rd function you using? Or are you using remote circuit? Or diverter valve?

It's the factory kubota 3rd function, it might be a diverter valve??

So it has an electric button you push on a joystick? If you can operate loader up/down, Dump and the grapple all at the same time you have a true 3rd function system. If you can only operate 2 of the 3 you have a diverter.

I bet it’s a true 3rd function. Sounds like it need a flow control device to slow down fluid flow to grapple cylinder. You may want to install such a device at the grapple so that you don’t limit hydraulic flow to other attachments.

Do you have a single lid or dual? Mine is a dual lid and is surprisingly fast but not too fast. I imagine a single lid would be like a T-rex ready to eat something. 16.2 GPM baby!

Here's a nice video by 94BULLITT explaining the different hydraulic arrangements for grapple actuation.

Hey, that's a Trane !! It's hard to stop a Trane !
I didn't see any gas blowing out of the unit. Refrigerant must have been removed

Yes it was drained by a professional HVAC tech. I made sure to mention that on the video and in video information.

Rust stopped the Trane after about 9 years... the Wicked grapple finished it off! Lol!
