A few months ago I purchased an EA Wicked Grapple. There was a problem where the grapple worked fine at first, then it would not open. After bleeding the cylinder and checking the QCs, it still did not work. Then I swapped the lines coming out of the work ports, and it worked fine. Don't know why that made a difference, I didn't think too much about it until now. I have a very serious leak out the bottom of the valve. Lost a lot of fluid. I'm afraid these two problems are related. The valve is hot now, I'll remove it tomorrow morning to look at it. The valve is a Prince 1 spool DA valve rated for 8gpm. I just noticed the JD2520 has a 10.5 gpm pump. Maybe this could also cause the leak? Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
