Mahindra 4540/4550 Hydraulic lines for grapple & third function valve

This is an owner's plumbing walkthrough for a grapple attachment on a Mahindra 4540/4550, made in response to a viewer request. It traces the hydraulic lines from the loader through the tee, both grapple cylinders, and up to the third function valve and its electrical actuation, while sharing real problems encountered: a grapple that once fell off due to worn plates and cylinder failure, plus a recurring blown fuse. Useful for owners installing or troubleshooting a similar grapple/third-function setup.
