This was going to be a project down the road with the 400 oz in motors, it would be a tight fit with a pump and spools. I think if a person didn't make the blade 6way, but only up and down I think there would be enough room for the spools for the grapple, boom, and one for the blade..

Sounds good Fred I think you should build it.

A person could also build it all electric I think. I once used servos on my KMC track skidder to operate the boom and grapple, I have to say it works GREAT. I took the centring system out of the servo so that it would turn endless, worked great for winch drums...

Greg made a mess of that one. Didn't mean pad, should have said K-1 tab,

Here's my idea on that. Use a 3 spool valve with a second valve to switch between the blade and the grapple functions. You shouldn't really need to use both at the same time. What do you think?

I just picked up a bunch of aluminum flatbar today to make the tracks for a 527. It's going to take a bunch of jigs to make them. Will I be able to? Dunno, but gonna try. Unfortunately, I have this little work thing that makes me the money to buy tools and materials to make things but prevents me from having the time to do it.
