Am new to the forum, and would appreciate some seasoned advice. My dealer ordered a new 72" root grapple from ceattachments.com. http://www.ceattachments.com/Libraries/Skid_Steer_Spec_Sheets/Brush_Root_Grapples.pdf
It appears to weigh 820 lbs, and is clearly for a skid steer. I'm wondering if this is overkill for the 854. I'll be using it to clear brush and large ash tree sections. I've seen the offerings from (Temporarily blocked due to reports of company closure), and they come in at around 525 lbs, and around $1800-1900. At $2500, and 820 lbs., the question is whether the extra 300 lbs, and $700 is worth it? Thoughts? Thanks.
