I spoke with Melissa yesterday to order my LD-48 Grapple and we talked about the JD QA setup they are offering-She is still learning the tractor side of the business since they primary bread&butter is SSL attachments. So I thought I would let all the JD owners know that their QA setup will fit all the current JD loaders because they are adding two sets of pins for the two different spacings. The extra cost is $80.00 for this setup.

So, just to give a list-it will fit these JD loaders:

210, 410, 420, 430, 460, 200xx, 300xx, 400xx, 5xx

I will get pictures when mine arrives:D

I got the LD-48", JD QA, NO spacers (can add then latter if I need them), No hoses/coupler's, Wider top(they are all 30" now), and Serrated teeth(They all have then now also)

Congratulations Kenny, that grapple sure has been a big hit here, and for a good reason. Looks like Markham's products are great.
Will it be a big install or I suppose you have everything for up front already?
I can't wait to see photos of it and also using it.

Thanks Rob. I already have the hydraulics to run it, I added a diverter to my FEL a few years ago to run the angle on a FEL snowplow that I had built. The plow is gone now-so it will be nice to use my investment again:D

Kenny: Looks to me like you need a place to test that out! We're doing firewood now. Not getting any trees from Phil, getting all the downed oak I need from the new place behind our house where we go plinking.

Looks Fun!
