    Morbark 2400 Hurricane with grapple. Looking for help!

    I have no experience with this machine but I have considerable experience with hydraulics. If you post or email me a set of schematics for the hydraulic system I may be able to review them and tell you where to check. Do you have pressure gauges and a flow meter?
