I'm glad I have it and it now works like it should but I'm not sure it's worth the money based on the quality expected vs what I received. I expect some modifications for fit but it was nearly impossible to lock/unlock the quick attach arm on the left side because the mount surface was not flush and flat. Much of the support/crossbar pieces were not welded flush to the back of the mount. I had to grind a good bit off the parts that were sticking out and now it works just fine but with the price paid that is disappointing. The hydraulic hoses on one cylinder also had a small leak right from the get go. And nothing was was greased either. I had to adjust the hydraulic hoses so they wouldn't be under so much tension at full dump but that's to be expected based on my tractor hydraulic mounts. Bottom line, I waited 4 months and paid premium money for a piece of equipment that required a fair amount of work just to be able to use and work properly. EA RESPONSE: All of our parts are laser cut and test fit multiple times during the manufacturing process, so the likelihood of something being not flush or flat is very low. Many times, due to the nature of the beast, quick attach mounts on the tractor have a slight tweak on one side, which isn't noticeable to the naked eye, which causes one side to be harder to hook up. We're betting this is the case, but with something you're taking out to dig with, it is hard telling. We do not run fluid through the hoses, and apologize if there was a leak. NPT thread, so it probably needs tightening(swivel fittings, so that's easy) and/or resealing(unlikely). Our dual lid compact grapples have the spring hose protector to keep the hoses tight when dumping/curling, and naturally, by design, it will tighten up and spring tension will make it tight when you dump. That's how it is supposed to be. We appreciate your business.
