Wanting to add a loader to my gas 170, with the ability to operate a grapple fork. Would power beyond with 3 control valves, up/down, tilt, open/close accomplish this ? Would the 170 handle this?

The hydraulics will work fine. I'm just thinking the chassis might be a little small for a grapple fork, but I don't know what you are lifting.

I have to agree with Dr. I don't think the front axle would be happy with the extra weight of a grapple AND the load it would be carrying.
