Hey. Im buy a 60” grapple for mu L3901 and I’m wondering if the 3rd function is the aux switch to squeeze? If so, how difficult is the install?
They are the buttons on the loader stick.

Depending your ability, they aren’t too bad. I’ve done 2 summit hydraulics kits, one on a LX and one on a MX. Both took a handful of days with a few hours after work.

You will need to add a third function kit, here is one brand. Get the instructions on installation and watch some videos.

Thanks! I have an idea. I’ve seen the old toggle switch on case 580 add a thumb. Appreciate it. Looking into it now
In the last week I installed the Summit Hydraulic 3rd function kit and a LP 0660 grapple on my 2501. It was not completely without headaches but overall not bad. At least a few of the headaches were self induced.

As of earlier today the grapple is working fine and I've stopped the hydraulic leaks. 😄
