HD Gator Grapple for Kubota 5240?

[ComeBye]

I live on a 40 acre tree farm in the rocky foothills of the Cascade Mtns. My projects include clearing, finishing, and maintaining forest roads and wooded pastures. Hard work for a 50 hp tractor. I've been yearning for a root grapple for about two years now.

I've decided I can't spend the $ on an Anbo, Borgford, or Construction Attachments grapple and am getting close to pulling the trigger on a grapple from one of the various outfits out of N. Carolina.

The Gator and Unlimited Fabrication units both look good at comparable prices, but its so hard to get a real sense of the quality looking at pics and talking to salespeople.

Has anyone used the HD units from either of these outfits?

I have an Unlimited Fabrication heavy duty unit. I have had it for about 5 years and had zero problems with it. The only weakness has been the paint, but then again it seems like most of the implement manufacturers have a problem using and getting a good paint job on their implements and attachments.
