Adding pipework for rotating grapple

Post #1 by jcb3cmkdeux » Tue Aug 16, 2022 3:44 pm

Hi all, i'm looking to purchase a 14ton tracked excavator for farm/ forestry work. Most of the 2nd hand machines i'm looking at are built between 2010 and 2016 and have a pair of extra hydraulic lines included at the end of the boom to run breakers etc. If i want to run a rotary grapple i believe i need a second extra pair of hydraulic lines. How easy is it to fit these and what control levers in the cab would they be connected to in order to operate them?
thanks
Mike
