The host replays two side-by-side clips from a previous video to show the difference in tractor stability and grab quality, then explains the concept clearly. A bonus segment distinguishes third-function valve kits from diverter valves. Best for new grapple owners who haven't nailed down smooth technique yet.
An owner-operator named Gord Potter sharing hands-on tips from his own experience with the Kubota LX2610.
The loader arms are not in float, so the grapple is fighting against the weight of the tractor instead of grabbing freely, causing the tractor to twist and lift.
Approach slowly, get the grapple teeth under the bottom of the target, extend the jaw fully, then push the loader arms into float before you grab and pull.
A diverter kit sends hydraulic fluid to one function at a time, while a third function valve kit lets the jaw and loader arm curl operate simultaneously.
