Gents can anyone tell me the max pressure my new BX25 will pump
at the FEL, and the max GPM's please?
I want to start thinking about making a small grapple for the FEL bucket
and I need to select a valve ot do it.

Looks like maybe a rexroth solenoid operated dou-ble selector valve, 6, 15 or 20 gpm perhaps...

Max pressure is around 1800psi and max gpm from the pump is 6, it then runs through a priority valve for steering and pto etc. The most you will get to the FEL is maybe 3.5gpm

Sounds like from the mouth of an authority and I Thank You Very Much!
I am considering buying The Thumb of 20" size for my BX25 and I am trying to figure out the best way to power it. I think I am leaning towards an electronic valve, perhaps a 12 VDC Hyd. Double Selector Valve ITEM 9-7852 as seen HERE on the right side. It is 13.2GPM so over sized, I do not assume that to be an issue. Do you have an opionion or suggestion Sqidget?

That is the same valve I used for my grapple. It's a little large, but it works well.

Beautiful! It looks like Surplus Center does not sell it, I can only find it on the PDF file. Might I inquire as to where you got yours? It is a Rexroth valve yes? Do you have there Model number for and and once again, Thank You!

PS, If you have any pictures of your setup I would love to review...

I don't actually have the model number but I got mine from Surplus Center the part number was the one shown.
I don't have pics, but if I get a chance soon I will try to get some. The loader is already stored for the winter so any pics will not be complete installation.

The absolute max the pump supplies is just over 6gpm, after the priority valve sends off flow for power steering etc I would imagine never more than 4gpm. it is most likely 3-3.5gpm.

these show the overall valve installation, the hose holders around the bucket pivot, and the piece of 2x2 steel I replaced the top edge of the bucket, allowing to directly mount the grapple to it.

these last two show where I wired the valve to still allow easy loader removal.
