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

if you’re on foot pedals for both you will probably find you can be gentle enough on the controls that it’s not an issue. Otherwise a little inline restrictor is all you need. Barrel type are very neat inline on hose runs- although fiddly to adjust they only need doing once. Or on the male/male fittings between hoses and the couplings you can get them with a pinhole in the middle which you drill out until you are happy with flow.
