Read articles →A hands-on install walkthrough showing how to add a third-function diverter valve to a Solis H24 so a grapple can be controlled through the loader's curl circuit. Covers hose removal and rerouting, fitting choices (including a practical note on flat-face vs. standard couplers), wiring the new handle and harness to the battery, and a quick leak check at the end. Best for H24 owners planning the same upgrade.
An owner-operator sharing experience from their own property, with some familiarity with this specific tractor model across two years of use.
Remove the factory hoses at the loader curl circuit, install the new valve with its pre-bent metal pipes and fittings, route wiring from the valve and handle to the battery, then check for leaks while cycling the grapple.
The kit includes standard 3/8 thread couplers, but many grapples now use flat-face couplers instead, requiring an adapter like a 1/2 inch body by 3/8 thread fitting.
The H24 shown has about 130 hours over two years and has never needed a shop visit; the owner's upgraded H24 Plus has 50 hours with the same reliability.
Only two physical connections are needed at the battery terminals, a positive and negative, and the harness is fused.
