    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    Fellas i might admit to lazy and i might admit to tight with money so with that said i am going to admit - i bought two hoses with 4 adapters and a couple 45 deg connections and am very VERY pleased with the grapple. Yes down the road i may spend the 1200 for 3rd function setup but me and my...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    Mcmxi you just cost me a lot of money ! I really like the looks of the factory setup a lot. I know they function the same and i thought about using the rear remotes like hedgerow mentioned. i heat with a central boiler and cut a lot of firewood so i see the grapple being used a lot down the...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    I believe i can install - i need to find the right hose to disconnect (green) and figure out where to pull power from for the switch. The only advantage with the kubota kit is it has two short metal lines where the wr long is just hose. Plus I’m sure i can’t talk kubota dealer into coming to...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    Well not that huge ! 1200. Installed with the wr long and 1250 for the kubota and i install plus if i want the different connectors with the kubota then 250 more. The grapple has the flat end connections (newer style i assume). I can change those and wont need but will still have to buy...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    Old hokie i sure do appreciate that info ! Not sure why but when searching googling it’s hard to find ! Do you think Messicks is the place to buy ? M1867 ? Not sure on what the “whole goods” is but if i can get the grapple going with efficient protected lines and control from the...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    I have read enough and will go to kubota dealer maybe Monday. I can’t find a part number for the “kit” for 3rd function so I’m going to price it and use the info they offer. If i can’t beat their price then i will just scrounge up my penny’s - they say buy once cry once and my dad says it’s...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    Fellas this is why i started this post ! So now i know a 3rd function kit is a must. The neat plumbing is important and i say this because my son is - man could not ask for a better son- but he can tear anvil up with rubber mallet. He is clearing off a spot on my land to build house...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    I have emailed scorpion and will listen to what they suggest. Installing myself and cost of parts is top. I am mechanically inclined and can’t tear anything up !! Getting the right fittings and thread is top on my concern list with what i have to work with. I appreciate the info

    Mcmxi please tell me more about the scorpion. I have googled options but saw nothing on scorpion. 1 k is under what I’m coming up with on cost but i do not do this for a living and other that what i can find and read i know very little on options. If it will help im going to post some pics...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    Fellas i appreciate the info. In my mind i really like the thoughts of having the open close on the loader stick but im shocked at the price of kits or parts. Heck even the connectors on grapple will need to be replaced. I think they’re for skid steer connection. I’m going to talk with...

    m5140 - would like to add front 3 function for grapple - lots of ?'s

    i have rear ports with leaver and could use those for grapple but wanted to ask - will the oem come with hard lines and does anyone have a part number for 3rd funtion ? i see a lot of different brands but think i want to stick with kubota unless someone tells me different. this tractor is...
