A dealership channel promoting Larry Stovesand Equipment in Tennessee, so the advice, while practical, comes from a sales-oriented perspective.
Route the grapple's quick attach hydraulic lines to the back of the tractor and plug them into the hydraulic remote system, using the remotes to open and close the jaws.
