I have a New Holland Skid Steer Model L325. I"m considering adding a thumb/grapple to the existing bucket. The manuals I have for it reference an original option to add auxilary hydraulics to it.

I"ve contemplating putting in a solenoid solector switch up front to either tip the bucket or run the grapple. Best price I"ve seen for a double selector valve is $190 at surplus center.

I was wondering if maybe there was another way to hook into the existing hydraulics. They must be set up for this original option, just not sure where it would be.

Anyone have any experience on this model? It"s early 70"s but runs great.

The original set up is a manual valve mounted down near the existing lift/curl valve. It is operated with a cable that attaches to the right control lever. Installing an original is no cake walk. It is all hard lined in with rubber hoses at the pivot point of the loader frame,hard lined down the loader arm to the quick couplers near the bucket.You might be able to rig in an electric splitter,but it's going to be tight on that little machine,then you have to plumb all the way to the bucket.Possibly consider trading it on a 555 with boom hyd. already on it? Your's doesn't have alot of lift capacity now,and will reduce it by 100#+ with the grapple and cylinders.

That doesn't sound like it would be a very fun project to add on.

The tilt on the bucket now is setup with quick disconnects. A backhoe can be attached to it there and it runs off that hydraulic circuit. I was thinking that I could put in a solenoid valve there, switched to A it runs the tilt, switched to B it runs the Aux hydraulics.

Maybe I'm trying to ask too much of this little machine. It runs great but maybe it has it's limits.

Thanks!
David
