    Trying to put my MS attachments grapple, onto my brother in laws tractor. The Grapple was ordered to fit my Mahindra 1526 with the Mahindra 3rd function. His is a Kioto 3510 or 4010 with a WR long 3rd function kit. Kioti says they are using "standard" connectors. I assume they mean Pioneer. The manual for my third function doesn't say anything about the style. The grapple hose ends are 1/2 inch O ring style.

    You can see in the picture some subtle differences. I don't know what I am looking at here, or how to tell which is the "real" standard, and which is something else. I am hoping that the parts I need to purchase will be somewhat common.




    here is the end of the hose off the grapple. I tried to take the male fitting off the third function on the Kioti and add it onto the end of the hose on the grapple, but it was to big and wouldn't thread on. I am not sure how though because they look **** near the same size shanks in this photo.



    Also, in the first picture the male fitting that's in my hand, that came off the grapple, WOULD NOT FIT into the female on the tractor. It looked close, but was just slightly to large and wouldn't fit at all.

    EVERYBODY, is telling me that theirs is the "standard" fitting, someones lying.

    Going to stick my neck out here as I haven't personally worked on these tractors. But for one thing those aren't Pioneer couplers. They are probably proprietary hydraulic couplers. You could go to where you purchased the tractor to get a coupler or visit Rural King, they have a nice assortment of fittings/couplers, and replace the male/female couplers. Also your tractor manufacturer may sell an adaptor.

    Check Wranglerstar Youtube channel, he talks about finding a very odd fitting on his foreign tractor.

    I unfortunately don't have time to find it I have only enough time to post this.
