• The valves listed below are selector/diverter valves; a typical installation would be to attach the hoses from the tilt cylinders on the bucket to two of the ports on the front of the valve, and two hoses from the grapple to the other two ports on the front of the valve. The remaining two ports on the valve should connect to the loader valve. When the selector valve is activated (either with the handle on the manual valve, or the switch on the electric valve) the flow can switch back and forth between the tilt cylinders and the grapple cylinders.



• Fitting Sizes On Selector Valves: The fittings have an 0-ring fitting on one end that screws into the ports on the selector valve. The other end of the fitting on the MP020 is 3/8 inch national pipe thread which is what is normally used on 3/8 inch diameter hydraulic hoses. The hose end on the 24 gpm valves (MP010 and MP030) are 1/2 inch national pipe thread (NPT), for 1/2 inch hoses.



• Electric Selector Valve Kits: The electric selector valve kits include a high quality Italian made Rexroth 6 way valve with a 1 year warranty. Rexroth valves are a high quality valve designed to take the hight pressures in hydraulic systems and to last for many years. The kits also inlclude the valve mounting brackets, fittings, and wiring harness.

• To connect the Add-A-Grapple you will need to be able to connect either 2 (single grapples) or 4(double grapples)hydraulic hoses. You will need to either be able to connect to a auxilliary outlet(s) on your tractor that will give you contant flow from your pump, or to splice into the in and out ports at the pump and divide the flow that goes into your existing loader control valve. In either of these cases, you will need to purchase a separate control valve to operate the grapple. We have complete multi-section control valves available for up to 8 sections. You could also completely replace your existing control valve with a larger one to control all functions, but it is probably just as easy to order a 2 or 4 section valve (for 2 or 4 hose connections) and just make a mounting bracket and use this separate valve for just controlling the grapple; you will have to measure and make the hoses the necessary length.



• If you have a loader control valve that has flexible hydraulic hoses connecting with quick connectors going to the loader cylinders, then you can order either the manual or electric diverter valve shown on this page, an split the flow coming out of the existing control valve and for example, use the control lever that tilts the bucket to also open and close the grapple.
