I purchased this tractor new in march and I had the bota 3rd function installed for a couple different implements. I’ve never used the 3rd function until I hooked it up to my new grapple Friday . My tractor is equipped with flat face couplers which made it a quick connection to the grapple. The issue I’m having is that the grapple will open up with full pressure but it clamps down with almost gravity fed pressure, I doubt it would crush a leaf! The female coupler on the loader side was a bit sticky / rough feeling so I purchased an American made replacement that is very smooth and super easy to connect but that didn’t fix the problem! Yes- I’ve been on orange tractor talk but I’m not getting any where there so I thought I would hand this curveball over to the green screen!

Hmmm, can’t help but I just bought a grapple too and haven’t hooked it up yet as I’m gonna have to have some more hose length. I’ll follow this though, interested in the solution. -
Sounds like the close solenoid is not working right. Try swapping the connectors where you would take the loader off. Should be two pioneer couplers by where the 4 couplers for the loader connectors are the white red yellow blue caps. If it opens weak the valve is bad.Comment
