Folks I have completed the grapple for my Kubota L4310 - I used mostly 2nd hand steel - 2x3 1/4 inch square tubing and grade 10 walkway grates for the brush guard on the grill and the grapple. Over all I would suggest anyone looking for a 3rd function kit get the WR Long kit - it sets up wonderfully and the thumb switch on the loader control makes it seem to easy.
I would like to thank Kennyd along with Dave and Jason for the input they had on this project - also the
TBN'er whom stuck a limb through his JD - as I used that picture for the justification to go with the heavy guards on the grapple and grill.
The cylinder placement is in the center with no clearance issues - I would never consider placing the cylinder on the top - I am sure that the pictures from the ANBO grapples had a lot to do with my design.
The grapple is 57 wide with a 30 inch back and a three top clamp run by one 4 inch cylinder with a 2 inch bore - it came with a scrap loader I tore apart.
Costs WR Long Kit 580.00 - Steel - 220.00 - Supplies - 200.00 - Scrap Loader 160.00 - Other - 100.00
Total 1260.00 - Built and designed.
