What you could use is a hose supporter that’s spring loaded to hold it up but flexes when needed.

Grapple from Skid Steer Attachment Depot.
- Thread starter Series9
- Start date
After using the grapple for two days, I have this to say:
The grapple is amazing. I can't believe how much it will pick up and how strongly it grips.
....on the other side...
The Landpride 3rd function valve disables the loader when you use the grapple. I may have incorrectly assumed this product was a "full function" 3rd function valve, but I can tell you for sure that the loader stops when you press the buttons to open or close the grapple.
It's not a huge deal for me, but I thought the cheap grapple was going to slow me down before the American valve kit did. There are many times over the past couple of days when I was trying to perform simultaneous movements between the loader and grapple and that doesn't happen.

It is nice to hear you are enjoying the grapple! I assume you have a diverter in place? Did you tie it into any existing lines? Does both the loader lift and the bucket curl get disabled, or only the curl?

It should be full function. Somethings not right. I can do all controls just fine on mine.

I don't know what to tell you. It's a Landpride 3rd function kit and loader functions cease if I'm closing the grapple.
If I'm holding the button to close the grapple and pull back on the stick to pick up the loader, nothing happens to lift the load until I release the button that closes the grapple.
I haven't exactly tried to quantify every movement combination, but I was frequently trying to close/lift at the same time, which I think would be the most common pairing between the functions for the grapple. It won't do that combo. When I release the button, there's an audible click and the loader starts moving after that.
If the joystick is in the neutral position, the audible click doesn't occur. It's only when have the joystick set to try to perform another movement when I release the button on the 3rd function valve.
