I've been interested in a grapple to do some light brush clean-up but am now having second thoughts. There is a used John Deere 4 in 1 (the smaller one) for $1000 and I'm debating if it would be a better choice. Having never used either it's a hard call for me.
One of the things I've noticed now that I have the back hoe is that I don't really like swaping it. Not that it's that hard but takes a little more effort than swapping rear implements. I'm starting to think that a 4 in 1 would not only let me grab brush like a grapple (though probably not as well) but give me some ability to push dirt. Could still drop the BH and use the rear implements if I was going to do a lot of dirt work but the BH and 4 in 1 would be a versatile day in, day out combo.
Would appreciate thoughts and opinons. Thanks!
