Rotating grapple fitment

Kubota kx027-4

I have ordered a rotating grab to fit my Kubota kx027-4 , I plan to run the grapple from the existing auxiliary pipes working off the foot pedal and then the rotate from the boom slew with manual valves fitted. I see that Alandurrant in 2021 fitted a similar system to his Kubota, I would appreciate any advice on valve fitting and slowing the speed of rotation. Thanks

New career

Glad I didn't listen.

Small update on my career change.   I never know if anyone cares but here I am...

Lawson cypress top out?

Hi, we have just moved to a new property which has 23 trees with TPO, we have come from small garden so no experience with them. Visit from tree surgeon says either remove or take 4 meters off the 20 Lawson Cypress trees as they are very small girth trunks, very spindly and some have U shape trunks.
