Multiple choices that will work fine. Thet are all a generic D03 valve with joystick mounted switch and easy to install.

Post what you decide on. Been wanting one for my 1880. Dam dealer wanted one of my kidneys, left testical, and a lung to install one on mine.
If I rember right, they wanted $1600 to install one for my 3 point.

Or, you could keep all ur body parts and just cobble a diverter together like I did for not much $.
Surplus Center valve, McMaster Carr switch and a couple hoses. The original curl hoses were a perfect fit to supply the diverter valve. New hoses needed from valve to curl cylinder. It's not a true 3rd function but, works for me.

Because you get better control and you are not going to save much with the diverter.

Ya I'm finding that out, man I never thought it would cost 800.00 for the 3rd point plus the cost for the grapple .

Welcome to the world of tractor's and implements. The summit kit is pretty reasonsbly priced
That's why most get it installed at the time of purchase wrapped into the tractor financing.
This begs the question - what are you going to use the grapple for?
Putting a grapple on the BX1880 is not going to lift trees trunks especially after subtracting the grapple weight. The loader is just not that good. Maybe some brush and what not but only a couple hundred pounds. I just bolted some 2x4's to the bucket and am surprised how well it works moving brush. I just have a few acres so I'm not doing a lot, maybe once a year. Don't forget to add rear ballast.
