I did the same setup but I used a floor dimmer switch from an early model Chevy so I switch between functions using my left foot. I also added a led mini light to let me know which function I was using.
What machine did you use it on? I used a micro switch and installed it on the left stick. I had a lot of trouble with buttons wearing out, and I finally figured out that micro switches were the way to go. It works pretty well and I haven’t lost one yet.
That grapple is going too be a fun addition. Just be careful not to pick up too much log too far out lol. I would like to have one of those on the front of my dump trailer.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I've got the same size kubota ex. 8500 lbs. Is the 42" too heavy for your machine at all when your swinging logs? Grapple pros recommended the 34" for my kubota u35. Im just wondering if that was a factor for you at all? Or what you'd recommend now that you've been using yours a while. Thanks.
Hey Brian. I’ve been really happy with the 42” grapple. I can say that with this grapple on my 35G, I can pick a Doug Fir log that’s 18’ long and 24” in diameter. It’s all it can do, I mean all it can do… All in all. It’s been really good. I do break Al out of fittings on it because I’m not at all careful and they do stock out a bit and are a little vulnerable to whacking them on stuff.
Hello thats a great video. I could not find the link to buy one tho. I found one on ebay for $1650 but that sounds cheap it would be nice if it was right.
Hello, my mini is equipped with a diverted valve so I can run the thumb or if I switch it, it will divert flow to a coupling that I plug the grapple into.
Can you elaborate on ‘backwards and upside down’ please? Do you have a pic of what you did? I had very little idea of what to do when I got it so I just did it. It’s worked really well so far.. I’m always looking for a better way.
They are holding up pretty well considering the abuse. The rotator is leaking a little and one of the bolts holding it together stripped out but it still works.

Good for you. That's going to be a very useful tool with your daily work.
Thanks for watching! Yes, for sure, it’s definitely a very useful attachment!
I need one now.. All of a sudden
Yeah, it’s a pretty cool attachment for sure!

I also have to be careful to not jab a log through the cab...
@@CascadiaLumberworks right!! Buddy of mine has a new cat window for that reason.
@@DustyRanch Yikes! I whacked the window pretty hard, but it didn't break. I got lucky...

The price you said is correct. It was like $1,650
Just purchased my first mini x and do residential tree work. My machine has thumb so is that all I need to be able to run this grapple?

Everything on that mount setup seems upside down and backwards from what iv built.
Greetings from Southern oregon btw

How are the grapples holding up to wear and tear so far?
They are holding up pretty well considering the abuse. The rotator is leaking a little and one of the bolts holding it together stripped out but it still works.
Yeah, grapple’s take a lot of abuse. Sounds like a new seal kit and a heli- coil and you’re good as new.
