Normally a rear remote does not run the grapple, it's normally a third function setup on the loader to run the grapple and rear remotes to run top and tilt.

Yes you can use a rear remote to do it, it just requires a lot of hose to pull it off.

there are a few 3 point rear grapples
or you want a 3rd function kit to add to a front end loader.

Little confused by what your saying and how your saying it.

Please clarify:
Do you already own the tractor?
If you already own the tractor are you trying to buy the FEL (Front End Loader) and install it on your tractor?
Or are you thinking of buying the tractor then wanting to put the loader on it after you buy it?
If you already own the L2050, is it a DT (4wd) with power steering?

Also your going to have a tough time getting a LA480 to fit on a L2050, it was designed for a larger tractor with different mounting ability.
And if you do get it to fit, it might be slow and weak as the Hydraulic output of L2050 is only 4.4GPM where the L2900 is 7GPM.

Lets keep everything on this thread to get to the bottom of this for you. ;)
