Since these have a LS system do you have a closed centre LS type valvebank for the grapple?

Pump presure you can just T on the line from the pump to the valve bank and LS signal at the ls port on the pump but don't forget to use a shuttle valve.

If you have the serial I can look at the build sheet and see what valves are installed on your machine and not since there are quite a few variations.
Machines that had grapple installed from factory had 4 extra sections added to the original 2 for the blade.

However, since this is a load sense system you will need a LS type valve bank in order to control your grapple.
Is it a 4 function grapple?
