Anyone Have Experience with Everything Grapple?

I am planning a spring grapple purchase to help out with many downed trees and brush piles. I have a BX2230 and it already has the third function hydraulics installed. This would be the 48" model.

The everything grapple appears to be more heavily built, has serrated teeth to get a better hold on things and has stops to prevent the root fingers from digging too deep.

Anyone have experience with these?

Thanks in advance.

Coast Behavior on X1120D

I understand that a coast valve can really help pre-RTVX models with the neck wrenching stop that comes from removing your foot from the go pedal too soon brings. On our '16 X1120D, in high gear, I can left off the go pedal and she coasts to a stop. But in low, it is still a fairly abrupt stop.

So here are my questions.
1. Is this low-gear behavior normal for an X model RTV?
2. If it is normal, would a replacement coast valve help alleviate the hard stop or is that already built into the...

Bobcat/ Hay handler hookup

I'm operating a Bobcat S750 I  purchased in the summer.  I used it with a log grapple in the summer and everything worked perfectly.  I recently purchased a new Steffens Hay handler grapple with a rotation feature.  The unit uses a spitter valve to power the rotation device.

The hydraulics operating the grapple hooks works great but when I hit the switch to rotate the load, it jerks as if it is going to move but stops. 

I've tested the electric hookup and have 12.5 volts to the splitter.  Steffens gave me a new splitter valve to try with the same results.  They also tested the unit on a different machine and it worked fine.

Apparently there is something about this Bobcat that is causing problems....... any thoughts, I'm about out of ideas and I have a barn full of hay to move.

RTV X1100C Accessory Lights Install

Just received strobe light kit, front, and rear work lights. I installed the strobe light kit today as it is plug and play. I installed it on the center mount on the top rear of the cab.

The Kubota oem rocker switch is not illuminating. Should it be? My rocker switches on the X900 all illuminated.

I’ll post pics of the install as I complete them.
