i have a l3800 hst with loader.right now i am using my rear remotes to operate my grapple, my question is would a 3rd function valve be better and which is the best way to set it up?i am not much of a mechanic so can i do it myself and what kind of prices are we talking? thanks!

We have one we operate with a third function and two off the rear remotes, third function is easier, but expensive, I paid $1500 for an OEM Kubota.
You can buy OEM and install it or buy components elsewhere, but my mechanical skill aren't that good.
A cheaper option we are looking at is a diverter, push the button and fluid is diverted from curl/dump to open and close the grapple, release and it goes back to curl/dump.

MtnviewRanch may also offer one through Fit-Rite.

I just recently paid $ 750 for Kubota Dealer to install a 3rd function valve on my tractor. I use it for the grapple and works great, can be opening grapple and tilting at the same time or any other combination or movements/functions.
