Grapple too fast

rsjohnsn ยท 2025-09-16 08:57

I just bought a grapple to use on my 2017 Takeuchi TL8. I control this with a momentary switch on the left joystick. Everything works great except for the speed of the arms closing. Is there a way to slow them down? I know there are restrictor plugs that I have seen used on tractors but not sure if they will work on a skidsteer. If so, would I need one or two restricted plugs? Thanks

    My guess is that 1 plug would work as oil exiting or entering the cylinder would have to go through the 1 Restrictor plug. Simon C

    One should work if you put it right at the end of one quick connect line.
