7000 Series; Move lever (B) rearward to open grapple and forward to close.
Electrohydraulic valve;
8000 Series; Use push-buttons (C) on top of tractor multi-function control lever to open and close grapple.
7000 Series; Use rocker switch (D) on top of tractor multi-function control lever to open and close the grapple.
50, 55, and 60 series tractor; (3-spool independent control valve) Lever (F), located below loader multi-function control lever (E), operates the grapple. Move lever forward to close grapple and rearward to open.
